Forever




Forever God is faithful,

Forever God is strong,

Forever God is with us,

Forever.


We sang this song in church this morning. I have always loved this song. Today, was no exception. I have always loved the words to this song, but never actually believed them, at least not for myself.


I believed them for other people and know they are true. Not that I don’t think God is faithful and strong and with us, because I do believe all of that. I have just never truly believed it to my core and looked for the evidence.


When I “re-look” over my life, I should have truly been believing these words to my core, but because of my own selfishness, I didn’t see that.


Imagine if I had.


Imagine the difference my attitude could have been in different situations.


Right now, in my life, I can honestly say I can see God in ways that I have never seen him. Circumstances in my life are different, yes, but I see God at work in more ways than one. I can see a light at the end of tunnel. For all that I have been through, I can finally see how God is using it for His good and my good.


It is always amazing to me how pessimistic I can be. This is where I need to apply that God is faithful, strong and with us. No matter what the situation, I need to look back and see the evidence of God’s faithfulness and realize He will come through. Maybe not in exact way I would like, but He will come through in His way.


He knows what is best for me, even when I don’t know what’s best for me.
