We all forget. We get tied up in worries. We fret.
When those days come, the scriptures call us to remember.
Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord.
Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.
Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given,
you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones. Psalm 105:1-6
This week I have been remembering. Resting. Rejoicing. In the midst of the questions and the uncertainty, reminding myself of “faithfulness.” Verse 8 of Psalm 105 says “He always stands by his covenant—the commitment he made to a thousand generations.” That is the promise of his faithfulness. These songs remind me to stand by my covenant too. As best I can, to trust and remember. To keep walking with joy. To “give thanks to the Lord . . . for his faithful love endures forever.”
Israel Houghton – Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Sara Groves – He’s Always Been Faithful
Brian Doerksen – Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir – He’s Been Faithful
There are so many great performances of songs that speak of faithfulness. If none of these resonate with you, find something that does, and remember . . .
I promise to remember…
