I have been torn on what I wanted to post. I have decided to post something that has been on my mind since the downfall of our economy (in the past couple weeks).
Yesterday, I was in prayer about our service that we had last night and I ask God, "What can I say to build up the church even though we are facing the tough times that we are". The thought came to me quicker than any other thought he has ever given me. I felt him say, "Remind them about how faithful I am"! I thought that is just what I needed to hear. Not just for the church but for myself.
We have yet to sell our house. It has been on the market for 4 months. So for him to give me the word to reflect on how faithful he is was reassuring that he IS going to take care of us.
For the church, I know that the word was reassuring to hear knowing the gas prices high, stock prices WAY down and the housing market struggling.
The worship set that we sang last night was:
Forever (God is faithful)
How Great is Our God
Great is Thy Faithfulness
I referenced the scripture Lamentations 3:22-24
Because of the Lord's faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness! I say: The Lord is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in Him. (NLT)
