The Power of 'IFS'

Every promise in the Bible, ever made by God to man has come with a big condition IF!

Duet 28:9 says, "The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, 'IF' you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways"

Like this, we have many verses in the Bible where we see God's promise and it's fulfillment is based completely on us keeping our side of the bargain as well. Now, this is why He is called a covenant keeping God. He always keeps His side of the bargain- He is Faithful, question is- are we?? It's during the most testing, trying, depressing, low, angry times, that our faithfulness is tested and it is at those particular moments where God looks down to see if we are stay FAITHFUL.

For Joseph it was the Prison, For David it was Ziklag, for Abraham it was Isaac on the Altar! Every one of us go through those moments which then determines our destiny. The throne that God has for you- No spear of Saul, No GOLIATH and no enemy can snatch it away, 'IF' through these testing, trying times you will choose to hold on to Him and stay FAITHFUL and not GIVE IN, GIVE UP OR GIVE AWAY your faith, hope and joy in HIM.

FAITHFULNESS is the KEY!

“Hymn”  by Mark Jarman

“Great is thy faithfulness,”             Say the leaves to the light. “Oh God, my father,”             Says darkness to night.

“There is no shadow,”             Says the eye to the sun. “Of turning with thee,”             As tears start to burn.

“All I have needed,”             Says the sand to the storm. Thy hand has provided,”             Say the combs to the swarm.

“Great is thy faithfulness,”             Says the cup to the brim. “Lord unto me,”             Say I unto him.

Mercies Anew

Since 2012 I have kept a daily God-sighting journal. Each day I write down three ways I saw God the previous day and mark the date. I keep it simple with my sightings being more about seeing everyday blessings than the big miracles we experience a few times throughout life. I am currently in the upper 8,000s with my God-sighting journal and recently, found myself seeing them more than I normally do, given some abnormal circumstances.

Last weekend, husband and I experienced a flurry of ER visits, tests, doctors, nurses, waiting rooms, more tests, and finally answers to an ailment that had plagued me for almost two weeks. The answer included surgery. Been there, done that four times previously…walk in the park…right?

Not so much. This was a very different, very pain-filled surgery, with a very different recovery. While that surprised me, husband and I did not find ourselves discouraged. Discouragement was far off because we were experiencing God’s mercies anew every morning. God-sightings came in so fast I couldn’t keep track of them all.

God-sightings like…

The excellent care of the surgeon and nurses. Their kind words and tender hearts calmed my own fears and eased my pain. Mercies anew…

The woman who took my meal order daily while in the hospital told me to order as much as possible. But why? I was eating crackers like a bird. “What you order and don’t finish your husband can eat for a meal.” Needless to say, husband was WELL fed. Mercies anew…

Hospital policy now allowed husband to spend the two nights I was in the hospital with me. Mercies anew…

Husband who never left to go home an hour away and freshen up, but stayed with me through it all, sleeping on a less-than-comfortable futon. Mercies anew…

The gentle hospital housekeeper who told us her story of pain while exuding a spirit of constant grace and love for the Lord. Mercies anew…

My parents and siblings (by birth and marriage), who checked in on my progress constantly via phone calls or texts. Mercies anew…

My parents who sent an uplifting, funny gift while I was in the hospital, knowing I could use the laugh. Mercies anew…

My mother-in-law who made a meal fit for a king for us and drove an hour each way just to deliver it to us. Mercies anew…

My church family who sent a lovely plant arrangement, provided meals and prayed hard over both husband and I. Mercies anew…

My co-workers who had a gorgeous flower array delivered to our condo. Mercies anew…

My BIL and SIL who sent a meal via mail saying “Surgery calls for chicken noodle soup!” Mercies anew…

My supervisor who told me, “We will handle things till you return. Focus on getting well!” Mercies anew…

Our Lifegroup who prayed and checked in regularly on us. Mercies anew…

A girlfriend who lives across the country, praying over me during their service of healing on Sunday. Mercies anew…

My Lifegroup friend who knew I hated to miss attending husband’s spring concert, held her phone up for the whole hour, calling me through Google Meet so I could still hear and see the concert. Mercies anew…

We were overwhelmed by the mercies anew, sometimes on a minute-by-minute basis. We did not want this to happen and certainly did not ask for it to happen during the busiest time of my husband’s year. And yet, mercies anew…again and again and again.

“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.”          ~Lamentations 3:22-23~

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 hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

LAMENTATIONS S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 3

Thursday, 5/16

SCRIPTURE:

Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end.  They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness! ~ Lamentations 3:22-23

OBSERVATION:

After two chapters of "woe is me" - a chapter full of reminders and reassurances...

...and the "source lines" to that old hymn, "Great is Thy Faithfulness..."

"Morning by morning new mercies I see..."

His "faithful love" - His endless mercy - new every morning - despite (or because of?) who I am...

...keeps me from perishing - because of and through Jesus...

APPLICATION:

Look for the new mercies...

Celebrate His great faithfulness

Call this to mind and have hope (Verse 21)

Probe my ways (Verse 40)

Lift my heart and hands to God in Heaven (Verse 41)

Do not be afraid (Verse 57)

PRAYER:

Great and faithful Heavenly Father - thank You for Your endless mercies through Your Son Jesus - may I rejoice in them and acknowledge You in worship, praise, and obedience in all I do for Your glory and honor - In Jesus's Name... in Jesus's Name... 

Lifting my heart and hands...

Great is Thy Faithfulness/How Great Thou Art!

Psalm 92:5-6. O LORD, how great are Thy works! and Thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. The above video features Anthony Burger, who is now with the Lord. You should look up his story. God certainly gifted him, and used him in spite of difficult circumstances. This song, along with How Great Thou Art, came to mind immediately when I read…

We’ve taken our focus off the LORD who never changes and place it upon our culture and society which does change, and always seem to be in a state of change. #godisfaithfull

So much can change in our lives: our circumstances, the way people treat us, our health, and even our feelings can constantly change.

But God will never change. #thelordisfaithful

Unlike everyone else, God will never change. #dependongod

No matter how much you change, God does not. #godisfaithful

God does not change with the times like we do. #samegod

Everything changes except for God. #changeisinevitable

Times, they are a changing...but God never does. #samegodeveryday

In a world full of change, we can trust our unchanging God. #faithfulnessofgod

Never rely on people and circumstances, they can change anytime, rely on God.

He loves you and it never changes. #everythingchanges

Seasons change and you change but God remains the same! #changeisconstant

When I get scared because things are CHANGING, I remember that God is with me and He always remains the same. #friendscomeandgo

The world has changed and it’s going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him. #relyongod

Everything in the world can change.

Everything in life can change.

BUT GOD can’t change.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. #unchanginggod

Life is always changing, but God remains the same. #godsfaithfulness

Every day is a new and different day, but God remains the same, no matter what. #godneverchanges

There is a peace in knowing even when everything around us is changing, God stays the same. #greatisthyfaithfulness

Count it ALL Joy!

I have ridden some emotional waves in my life. It might have been because of one of my children being very sick or a flat tire or an automobile accident. It might have been that there were expenses that far outweighed the funds to cover them. It might have been the passing of a loved one or a friend let me down. What we want during those times are for someone – anyone – to empathize with us – to…
