Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
~Hebrews 11:1
The measure of a great woman is not her strength, but her reliance on God. We know this now, in a time when so little can be known or predicted or counted upon in the natural scheme of things, more than ever.
Today I read this in my quiet time:
Lord, you have always given bread for the coming day; And though I am poor, today I believe.
Lord you have always given strength for the coming day; and though I am weak, today I believe.
Lord you have always given peace for the coming day, and though of anxious heart, today I believe.
Lord you have always kept me safe in trials, and now, tried as I am, today I believe.
Lord, You have always marked the road for the coming day; and though it may be hidden, today I believe.
Lord, You have always lightened this darkness of mine; and though night is here, today I believe.
Lord, You have always spoken when time was ripe; and though you be silent now, today I believe.
To remind ourselves of what God has done in the past is one of the greatest ways to build our faith and demonstrate to those around us a way to live in peace. As God commanded the Israelites to celebrate festivals and erect monuments to remind themselves of what He had done for them in the past, so we can keep our own lists and celebrations so that we always remember He has been faithful, and He will always be faithful.
How can you remind yourself of the faithfulness of God, today?
