You are a faithful God.

 You Are a Faithful God

A Reflection on Deuteronomy 7:9 and Lamentations 3:22-23

You are a faithful God—Your mercies never cease,

Your promises stand firm, Your word brings constant peace.

When I am faithless, You remain, for You cannot deny

Your own great name, Your covenant, the love that will not die.

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations. (Deuteronomy 7:9)

You are faithful in the stillness, when I wait and cannot see,

You are faithful in the struggle, when the fight is up to me.

You are faithful in the silence, when no answer comes by night,

You are faithful in the breaking, turning darkness into light.

The morning mercies witness—new every single day.

The sun that rises, steady, shows You have not turned away.

The seasons tell the story of a promise-keeping God,

Who waters earth with kindness and whose grace is never flawed.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

I look back at my wanderings, at the years of doubt and fear,

And I see a thread of faithfulness that kept me very near.

Not because I held on tightly, but because You would not let go.

You are a faithful God—this, my heart has come to know.

So I trust You with my future, with the unknowns yet to come.

Your faithfulness is my foundation, the rhythm of my drum.

You are a faithful God. I will sing it all my days:

You have never failed, You will not fail—forever be praised.

Amen.
