Faithful

Faithful. This is something that I have been hearing over and over-- every message I hear, every song that sticks out to me-- they are all highlighting the Faithfulness and Unchangeability of God. Even while I was still in Fire In The Night, I was hearing Faithful. It was spoken about in church, it was sung about, and spoken over me... He is Faithful.

Since coming home I have many changes to doubt His faithfulness-- will He really come through when I am depending on Him for everything? Will He really still love me when I'm not in the Prayer Room for 6 hours a night, and my heart is manifesting some not-so-awesome responses to life... like when I got stuck in traffic and people seemed to forget how to drive... there was many a thought that was not exactly Loving.

Seems like I'm rambling, but I have a point. God has shown me His faithfulness, first at IHOP when I did not know what to expect or what would happen. He faithfully took tender care of my heart, growing me up in love and teaching me to trust Him... now that I am back in the "real world" I am learning to do all the same things, but in a different context. I learned in Fire In The Night to love and trust God when I was at the end of myself--tired from getting up early, staying up late, at the end of my rope emotionally, and trusting on His strength not to fall asleep in the prayer room and keep my wandering heart close to His... Now, I am learning to love Him when I have places to go, things I could be worrying about like a job and all the little important things that are needful for life...

He is the same God. That is the realization that I am coming too. He will provide for me no matter what the context is or how interesting the situation may seem. He is faithful to His promises. My God, is the One who is Faithful to the end. My part is to trust--to learn to say "He is Faithful" in and out of season--to be sure of the One who I trust. Basically back to the Psalm that never fails to apply to my life these days... Psalm 37

He is Faithful. If nothing else,  I will leave this season with the words; "He is Faithful" in my heart and on my lips. For Indeed, He who Promised is Faithful.
