Scripture of the Week
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. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore, I will wait for him." - Lamentations 3:22-24

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

This inspiring praise hymn, one of the most popular of all time, remains a tribute, not only to the faithfulness and provision of God, but God’s extraordinary use of the most ordinary people. Thomas Chisholm was an insurance salesman, and an unhealthy one at that. When he was seventy-five he wrote, “My income has not been large at any time due to impaired health in the earlier years which has followed me on until now. Although I must not fail to record here the unfailing faithfulness of a covenant-keeping God and that He has given me wonderful displays of His providing care, for which I am filled with astonishing gratefulness.”
He spent his life selling life insurance and submitting poetry to Christian magazines. Some were rejected, some accepted and none ever gave him much money. Yet this humble artist eventually penned some of the greatest lyrics in hymn history and his song, “Great is Thy Faithfulness”, is certain to be sung throughout the world for decades upon decades to come. Indeed, God is faithful!
God has clearly demonstrated His faithfulness and we do know that He is ever faithful to us. This wondrous fact gives us ample reason to praise Him, though circumstances may go against us.
Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God
my Father!
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not - Thy compassions, they fail not:
As Thou has been Thou forever wilt be.
Great is Thy Faithfulness! Great
is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand have provided-
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime
and Harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with us all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Great is Thy Faithfulness! Great
is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand have provided-
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that
endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow-
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy Faithfulness! Great
is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand have provided-
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
One of the greatest miracles of the Bible is its unity.
Please ponder the following amazing
facts: The 66 books of the
Bible were written:
On three continents
In three languages
By about 40 different people (kings,
shepherds, scientists, attorneys, an army general, fisherman, priests and a
physician)
Over a period of of about 1,500 years
On the most controversial subjects
By people who, in most cases had never
met
By authors whose education and background
varied greatly
Yet, though it seems totally inconceivable,
the 66 books maintain harmony with
each other
Often new concepts on a subject are
expressed, but these concepts do not undermine what other Bible writers say
on the same subject
Ask people who have viewed an identical
event to each give a report of what happened. They will differ widely and will
vrtually always contradict each other in some way. Yet the Bible, penned by
40 writers over a 1500-year period, reads as if written by one great mind. And,
indeed, it was: "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."
2 Peter 1:21. The Holy Spirit moved them all.

Prayer Corner - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." - Philippians 4:6
Receive Jesus As Savior And Lord
Of Your Life
Father, it is written in Your Word that if I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead, I shall be saved.
Therefore, Father, I confess that
Jesus is my Lord.
I make Him Lord of my life right now.
I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead.
I renounce my past life with Satan and close the door to any of his devices.
I thank You for forgiving me of all
my sin.
Jesus is my Lord, and I am a new creation.
Old things have passed away.
Now all things become new in Jesus' name. Amen.
Work Prayer
Heavenly Father, as I enter this place, I bring Your presence with me. I speak Your peace, Your grace and Your perfect order into the atmosphere of this place. I acknowledge Your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, decided, and accomplished within these walls.
Gracious Loving Father, I thank you for the gifts You have deposited in me. I do not take them lightly, but commit to using them responsibly and well. Give me a fresh supply for truth and beauty on which to draw as I do my job. Anoint my creativity, my ideas, and my energy so that even my smallest task may bring you honor.
Lord, when I am confused, please guide me. When I am weary, energize me. Lord, when I am burned out, infuse me with the light of Your Holy Spirit. May the work that I do and the way that I do it, bring hope, life, and courage to all that I come in contact with today and everyday, And, Oh Lord, even in this day's most stressful moments... may I rest in You.
In Jesus' strong and powerful name,
I pray. Amen.
