Great is Thy Faithfulness!

Lamentations 3:22-23 says:

22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.


One of my favorite old hymns is "Great is Thy Faithfulness," so it's fitting that the scripture I came upon this morning seems to be what inspired this hymn written in 1923. Here is the first verse and chorus:

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 will 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!


Isn't it awesome to know that while the world continuously changes around us, maybe the people in our lives, society as a whole, our government, relationships, situations, jobs, etc... that the God of the Universe who has existed forever and always continues to remain the same... full of COMPASSION and MERCY. Thank You, Lord, for your continued faithfulness to Your children!
