Sunday Words of Encouragment August 23, 2009

This morning our Pastor preached on What Do You Do When Darkness Comes? At the end of the message he reminded us of God's Great Faithfulness.

I found this video that is beautiful musically and full of wonderful reminders of God's promises:

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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!

Refrain

A verse from the message today is:

Isaiah 50:10 NIV Who among you fears the LORD, and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.
I was a week early last week praying for children - we prayed this morning for their safety as they start back to school this week!
I also prayed this morning for those struggling with financial difficulties.
I am thankful God has provided all that I need. Thank you Father!
