Faithfulness

God is faithful. My mother and I are reading The Women's Devotional Guide to the Bible by Jean Syswerda, which goes through main passages/topics of the bible in a weekly format. During the stories of Moses and God's deliverance of the Israeli people, I commented how it truly shows God's faithfulness as did the week before that. My mom wisely replied that the whole bible is a testament to God's faithfulness. So true. It made me think about what a basic concept the bible is. Of course there is so much more. I tell this as back story to the next story I'm going to relate.

God is faithful. I have to repeat it again and again. Because even though I know it to be true, I forget. Even though I have hundreds of examples in the bible and thousands of non-fiction and personal stories out in the world today and in the past to remind me. I forget and focus on my problems and I worry. But God is truly amazing, He forgives my flippancy and reminds and blesses me.

Just a couple of days ago, I was reviewing our finances and our bills. We have been spending more than we are taking in, some things necessary, some unnecessary. The change to one income has been challenging. But anyways. So here I am whining to my husband about our bills and how we will have to dip into our savings again. (I also must put a disclaimer that I know that we are well to do financially and have so much that so many others do not, but as my husband says, I'm just a miser.) Than the next day, our taxes were completed by our tax people and we are getting back a large amount. Thank you tax deduction Raffi! woo hoo! So I stopped and thanked the Lord. Thank You for providing for our family and thank You for so reminding me that You are faithful.
