Beloved, every day we have a clean slate with God. Great is His faithfulness, His mercies are new every day. I’ve witness this in my life. How about you?
Today, we need to focus on the faithfulness of God. God is faithful. I see Him heal some of the sickest people. we have so many miracles in the Bible. Daily at the hospital, when I work, I pray with patients. Remember, God is at work all around you and he invites you to join Him.
I’ve been reading Daniel and Revelation. I am an encourager for First 5 ministry and a discussion leader for Bible Study Fellowship. I love volunteering. How do you serve God? First 5 is a Bible Application that you add to you add to your telephone. This was developed so you can read your Bible the first five minutes of the morning. The application offers devotions based on a book of the Bible and this month; the study is on Daniel. Additionally, At The Well, and online Bible Study, will be studying Elijah in a couple of weeks. I am a Team Leader over Group 60, 57, and 23. At The Well | Online Bible Study for Women | At The Well (communityatthewell.com)
It is so important to be in God’s word, so we know first-hand His faithfulness. It is also important to mentor others. To be kind and walk in forgiveness.
Then, Bible Study Fellowship is a wonderful study. We will be studying the book of Revelation. Studying with BSF on and off since 1980 has been such a privilege. I have studied the minor prophets, Genesis, Matthew, Acts, and now Revelation. My son who is in his 40’s was 3 when I started with BSF. BSF is a four-fold approach to studying God’s Word. As a member there is a lesson to read, Bible study questions to answer, then a discussion with other women and then a lecture on the material.
The word faithfulness is in the Bible 55 times.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness! Lamentations 3:23
Definition of faithfulness is the quality of being faithful; fidelity: faithful, fidelity such strong words to describe God.
How has God been faithful to you? Sweet friend, in the midst of every trial God is faithful. We automatically trust that when we sit in a chair, the chair will faithfully hold our weight and support us. We can trust in God’s faithfulness.
Perhaps the most profound story of faithfulness is with the prophet Elijah. In 1 King 17, Elijah meets a widow– Such a profound story her son had died. Elijah performs the ultimate miracle and her son now alive. Then there is the miracle of finding water for the prophet and the making of the bread.
Beloved, God is faithful.
The Lord will send his faithful love by day; his song will be with me in the night— a prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:8
For me, my husband and I have been sick with a virus, this prevented him from having a cardioversion– now scheduled for next week. We covet your prayers as we claim God’s faithfulness.
Father God, you are faithful. Thank you for the Bible and the examples of God’s faithfulness. I am in awe of how you answer prayer. Thank you for the love you have for the person suffering with depression or anxiety. Thank you for your faithfulness in providing for our needs physically, mentally and financially. In Jesus’s name, amen.

All our blessings
Great and small
Our Lord God
Gives them all.
Within His arms
He holds us tight
We’re always
In His sight.
Reach out to Him
You’ll feel His touch
Because He cares
He loves us much.
He sees us here
He sees us there
He sees us
everywhere.
He goes before
He goes behind
He never lets us
Out of mind.
He’ll fill your heart
He’ll fill your mind
With His Mighty
Love Divine.
He’s always near
So have no fear
In Him we
Do abide.
Through ups and downs
His love prevails
He never
Leaves our side
So, when you’re high
Or, if you’re low
It doesn’t matter
Which.
Lift up your heart
Lift up your mind
Ask Him to come
Inside.
So, give your heart
Your mind and soul
Then reap the
Great reward.
Eternal life
Abide with Him
Forever and ever
And Evermore.
It starts today
So come and stay
Within the
Arms of God.
For All our blessings
Great and small
Our Lord God
Gives them all.

Beloved, we have a faithful God. One who deserves all our honor and praise.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praise to your name, Most High,
to declare your faithful love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night, Psalm 92: 1-2
