Gods' faithfulness



This is my favorite song of all time. I first heard it on a CD I got for either christmas or my birthday during my last year of high school. I listened to it a LOT as my family drove me from the island to Dordt. It was very meaningful driving through the mountains and plains, while listening to this song about Gods faithfulness. I also listenend to it after my Dad's heart attack, and other stressful times that are too numerous to count.

Lately I've been feeling stressed about the whole job situation, or the impending lack of employment. If you haven't heard yet, my job is ending on March 31st, and so far I don't have anything lined up. I have a lot of student loans and whatnot to pay off, so I've been working 3 jobs lately to get ahead - my full time job, teaching a photoshop class, and now Im working part time at a local pet store (I pretty much wrangle dead fish).

Anyways, I went to church tonight, and they played this song! It's a huge church, and they have an awesome worship team. It was the first time I have heard them play this song, usually they just do worshippy songs. But it was a great set, and everyone was singing along, it was glorious. Then the sermon was about God's faithfulness to David. Did you know that he had to wait 22 years from the time he was anointed king of Israel to the time he actually got to reign? And 14 of that he spent on the run from Saul!! Yet his faith never wavered, and God remained faithful to him over all those years.

In the grand scheme, I think my problem here is actually pretty small... I mean, he watches over the birds of the air and gives them food and shelter everyday, what makes me think he won't take care of me? Im just gonna remain trusting in God that he has the best in store for me, and that he will not let my needs go unnoticed, no matter how big or small they are!
