Before I get back on track and continue our travels in Lancaster, Pennsylvania - like I promised, and sharing more of our ongoing celebration of our 50^th wedding anniversary, I want to pause for just a minute to reflect on God’s faithfulness.  I don't do that often enough.  But in recent days I've been challenged personally to rely more on God's grace and power in my life and to reflect on what is important and what is rubbish.  Facing uncertain medical issues has a way of doing that, doesn't it?

As many of you know, I often post to my Facebook page the daily words of wisdom from Max Lucado.  Today, his quote really reminded me of a truth I needed to let sink in again … and again.  Just in case you could use an infusion of this truth as you hurry and scurry about, or as you struggle with uncertainties of one kind or another, I am posting his comments for you to ponder.  He has a way of honing in on the truths of God’s Word, and often, just when I need them the most.

May you be blessed and encouraged by them, too.   By the way, his daily posts can be found at: http://www.maxlucado.com/articles/category/daily_text/

He’s Faithful by Max Lucado

If we are not faithful, God will still be faithful, because he cannot be false to himself. 2 Timothy 2:13”

"We don’t get it! 

Because God’s blessings are dispensed according to the riches of his grace, not according to the depth of our faith. 

Why’s that important to know? So you won’t get cynical.  Look around you.  Aren’t there more mouths than bread?  More wounds than physicians?  More who need the truth than those who tell it?

So what do we do?  Throw up our hands and walk away?  Tell the world we can’t help them?  No, we don’t give up!

We look up.  We trust.  We believe.

Christ has proven worthy.  He never fails! 

That’s what makes God—God. "
