But from eternity to eternity the Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear Him, and His righteous. Psalm 103:17


I don’t know about what you are experiencing right now, but so many of our friends are struggling right now. We have friends whose 19 year old son was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident, a friend just diagnosed with breast cancer, and another who has ovarian cancer. He husband is also battling lymphoma. Two dear friends have had a major marriage crisis. And the list goes on and on.

Our friend, Bobby Michaels recorded this Steven Curtis Chapman song many years ago. It is a great reminder that we have a Redeemer who is Faithful and True. I have included the lyrics and the link. Bobby went home to be with the Lord two years ago. We still miss you, Bobby!



As I look back on the road I've travelled,
I see so many times He carried me through;
And if there's one thing that I've learned in my life,
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.



Chorus:
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.

My heart rejoices when I read the promise
'There is a place I am preparing for you.'
I know someday I'll see my Lord face to face,
'Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.



Chorus
And in every situation He has proved His love to me;
When I lack the understanding, He gives more grace to me.




Maybe you are in the midst of a deep struggle. Be reminded of this truth today. – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick

GPS – God’s Positioning System: 1 Samuel 1-3; Psalm 90; Proverbs 8

Compass Pointers: We must be willing to accept the bitter truth that, in the end, we may have to become a burden to those who love us. But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction. Thomas Merton
