He's Always Been Faithful

Questioning God's faithfulness? I'm sure you can relate...
Recently I've been praying for my own heart; for grace to be given to me to wait on the Lord, for His voice in His time, for the unfolding of His plan in His way. As I've asked God for this grace to wait and trust, I've been asking myself questions: "Do I genuinely expect and believe that God will answer me by giving the grace I am asking for? Do I have faith to believe that He hears and will move? Do I REALLY believe?"

And so I dove into the Word, devouring Hebrews 11 ("The Great Chapter of Faith"); reflecting on the testimonies of the faith of those who have gone before us... and the words jumped off the page: "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)

And then God answered my request! I'm pretty sure something actually shifted within me as I read that verse and listened over and over again to this Sara Groves song "He's Always Been Faithful" (Listen by clicking this link)

I can't remember a trial or a pain He did not recycle to bring me gain
I can't remember one single regret in serving God only and trusting His hand
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always been faithful to me

This is my anthem, this is my song
The theme of the stories I've heard for so long
God has been faithful, He will be again
His loving compassion, it knows no end
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always been faithful to me

Yes and amen! Lord, cause my belief in Your faithfulness to increase!
