詩歌： Great is Thy faithfulness

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!”
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Indeed God is faithful when you consider all the works His hands have made especially in my family. Thank You God.

I was very "religious" until my early 20"s, I didn't derail but I certainly lost my faith, considering myself too smart or "scientific" to blindly accept God. I use to laugh at postings I see here, considering you hypocritical and ignorant. I was in control of my own destiny until I wasn't; God didn't exist until He did. I am not here to preach, but to thank God for not giving up on me for I am certainly unworthy — the last few months have been so powerful, I continue to struggle to some degree and then we have a tragedy, a sacrifice that unites and reawakens faith around the world and humble kid that sings His praise on our behalf.

One more thing...i mentioned Jordan Smith singing this Gorgeous Hymn on "The Voice" last night. But I forgot to mention that he has a Gift from God voice. Literally, the voice of an Angel. Not only did our Holy Father give him the Gift of an Entertaining sound..but in His Unmatchable FAITHFULNESS He Poured it into Jordan's blessed heart to pick this Glorious song and Fill the whole world with an Angelic Tune with soul Strengthening Words that we all need to hear! By the way...Jordan's version is #1 on iTunes right now!! Thank You Holy Faithful Father!! Your Mysterious Ways are so Perfect!! Thank You Jesus for Loving us so much..You took our Stripes to make us Brand New!! I bow before the Throne of Grace and Pray that You Send Peace to the reader of this message and all of Your Children that are Scattered all over the planet! We Love and Worship You, Forevermore, Amen!

God is the Most Faithful Creator! Last night on a television singing contest this song was sang by a man named Jordan Smith. It's no coincidence that this song was chosen. Many of us across the globe are grieving and praying compassionately for our fellow humans in Paris, Syria and every other place that is un-peaceful at this time in earth's His-Story! 1 Corinthians 10:13 says.."There bath no temptation (or tragedy) taken you but such is common to (all) man; but God is Faithful who will not allow you to be tempted (troubled) above that you are able; but will with the temptation(or trial) also make a way to Escape that you may be able to bare it!" Jesus Christ's Holy Spirit-Heaven in our heart (Luke 17:20-21) is where we can Escape to anytime anywhere we are! No matter what the enemy or anyone says or does!! God is in Control of His Universe!! And to Him Belongs all Glory! Amen!

As I sat before the Lord this morning this anointed song brought back memories of my grandmother playing on her piano and singing. As I reflect to the storms of life the Lord has carried us through many times I sang this song. Multiple times we will told by doctors the both of our sons would not be able to live. My husband and I would look into the faces of the doctors and nurses and explain to them we will never give up hope until God so chooses to either sustain our sons lives or take them home to be with him. Both of our sons now have defied all odds and are living testimony of God's intervention. As you listen to this song today cling to words and let it minister to the depths of your soul and whatever situation you're walking through.

This hymn is so powerful no matter what the situation, this hymn reminds us that He is great and His faithfulness far exceeds our faithlessness.

Oh yes, indeed great is thy faithfulness morning by morning new mercies I see. Thanks be to Jehovah Ropheka.

I am in Paris. This hymn was part of the service at the American Church yesterday. We prayed for our grieving friends, for the innocent, and for our enemies.

Although we are unfaithful, God is faithful. Lamentations 3:23b says, "Great is Your faithfulness." The chorus of a well-known hymn on God's faithfulness (Hymns, #19) says, "'Great is Thy faithfulness!' 'Great is Thy faithfulness!' / Morning by morning new mercies I see; / All I have needed Thy hand has provided—/ 'Great is Thy faithfulness,' Lord, unto me!" We may understand what the Bible says and what this hymn says about God's faithfulness either in a natural way or in a spiritual way. When you sing this hymn, how do you understand the word faithfulness? If you understand God's faithfulness in a natural way, you may think that He is faithful primarily in the matter of material provisions or physical blessings. When some say that God is faithful, they mean that He is faithful to take care of their material needs. However, in 1 Corinthians 1:9 Paul says, "God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." God is faithful in this matter, but He may not be faithful to provide you a large house or a well-paying job. I would not deny the fact that God is faithful in caring for our welfare. My point is that God's faithfulness is not according to our natural understanding.

Consider the sufferings of the apostle Paul. He was called, commissioned, burdened, and sent by God, but wherever he went he had troubles. For example, as soon as he began to preach Christ, he began to suffer persecution. He even had to escape from Damascus by being lowered down the wall in a basket. Does this mean that God was not faithful to Paul? No, it means that God's faithfulness is not according to our natural understanding.

When we believed in the Lord Jesus, we might have expected to have peace and blessing. But instead we might have had many troubles and might have lost our security, our health, or our possessions. When some Christians experience such things, they may question God's faithfulness and ask why He did not prevent hardships from happening to them.

We need to realize that in allowing us to have troubles, God is faithful in His purpose to turn us from idols and bring us back to Himself. Our peace, safety, health, and possessions may become idols to us, and God is faithful to take these things away so that we may drink of Him as the fountain of living waters. If our house or our possessions become idols to us, we drink of them and not of God. God's faithfulness is a matter of dealing with these idols and causing us to drink of Him.

God is faithful in leading us into His economy, and His economy is for us to drink Christ, to eat Christ, to enjoy Christ, to absorb Christ, and to assimilate Christ that God may have His increase with us to fulfill His economy. This is God's faithfulness.

Instead of drinking of God as the fountain of living waters, Israel drank of their idols. Therefore, God used the Babylonians to deal with these idols and also to destroy Jerusalem and even the temple, which had become an idol to them. We need to see that we are not better than Israel. Anything can become an idol to us. But God is faithful in fulfilling His economy. In His faithfulness He deals with our idols that we may drink of Him. We all need to drink of God as the fountain of living waters, receiving Christ into us and assimilating Him, so that He may increase for the fulfillment of God's economy to have His expression through His counterpart.

Whereas God is faithful, we are neither faithful nor chaste but go to many other husbands. After failing God, we may receive some mercy and grace and therefore repent and weep, saying, "How pitiful I am! For a long time I have not loved the Lord very much, and I have not attended the meetings." While we are repenting and weeping, God is rejoicing. However, if we repent and weep too much, even our repentance may become an idol. We may testify in a meeting, saying that we have thoroughly repented to God. But this may be a matter of self-boasting and be a self-made idol. Therefore, after repenting, we should begin to drink of the living waters, praising God, giving thanks to Him for everything, and enjoying Him. This is what God wants. God is not interested in anything other than our enjoyment of Christ.

Life-study of Jeremiah, chapter 4 (水流職事站)

Jeremiah's speaking in Lamentations 3:22-26 is another pattern of prophesying: "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord." Jeremiah told us that it is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed. This is not foretelling but blessing, well-speaking. He told us that the mercies, the compassions, of the Lord are new every morning. We need to learn to prophesy in this way. Jeremiah told the Lord, "Great is thy faithfulness." There is a well-known hymn based upon this verse (Hymns, #19). Jeremiah also said that the Lord was his portion. It is marvelous that there was a prophet in the Old Testament who knew that the Lord was his portion. When we tell others that the Lord is our portion, we are speaking the Lord to them.
