Great Is Thy Faithfulness

How does God take my failures and make them His victories? I have no idea, but He does.

Glory to God!!! This is amazing! I am so thankful to God that he takes my shortcomings and produces a beautiful picture of His faithfulness and providence. Even this weekend I have seen mistakes in my every day conversation where God has taken sinful motives and desires and used them for His ultimate glory. Yes!

I am a fool, but God is good, powerful, and all-wise!!! Why don't I trust Him?

Old hymn of the faith (pumps me up!):
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 for ever will be

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest
Join with 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 hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me
Great is thy faithfulness

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

Give me wisdom, O Lord.
