Deuteronomy 7:9 (KJV)

⁹ Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

How many times have we sought to understand a situation or event in which we can’t wrap our minds around, stumbling in confusion during the process?   It happens, to all of us.  Eventually, a scenario, or occurrence, will thwart the progression of our comprehension, thereby bringing about an unsettled state of mind in the interim.

In simpler terms, when things occur in our life concerning loved ones, or us as a whole, our mind can become clogged with uncertainties.  We can stumble into a web of confusion and chaotic scenarios that go in circles.  That’s when we run to the One who is “ever faithful” and can help. The One who is precise in His direction, and guidance, and the One who will never leave us, good times or bad…the One who cares for us like none other, the LORD our God.

His covenant, and His promises, fold out so clearly in His Word. The precise message pours over the buds in our mind like golden honey.  Sweet, how sweet is thy Word LORD.

Consider this, the Creator of the Universe is wise beyond all measure, and surpasses anything that our human minds can truly begin to absorb.  So…isn’t it natural to turn to the Creator since He not only made everything, but loves us as well?  Doesn’t He want us to be in peace as He so firmly states in Jeremiah 29:11:   “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

The LORD is slow to anger, and so loving, and protective of us. His compassion is everlasting and peaceful. He is the fine tuning we need in order to be effective in life. His precision and determination in promoting us is evident in all of His promises and quotes…if only we take the time to embrace and establish them within our hearts.

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. (Psalm 86:15 KJV)

The steps, or paths, in front of us, may not always be “smooth” — in fact,  they could be broken, making it difficult to walk upon— but God in His infinite Wisdom, compassion, mercy, faithfulness, and love, is the compass of  which we should seek direction.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. (Psalm 119:90 KJV)

He is open for “talks” and “prayer meetings” 24 hours a day. He is never on vacation, nor does He take His eyes from us for even one second of His day. His love extends from the heavens to the earth, protecting and guiding us, when we seek, and ask, and knock.

Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. (Psalm 36:5 KJV)

So where ever we are in life, or whatever is happening around us, that covers both “good times” and “bad” — remember, there is the ever constant One that loves us, who will never leave us, never forsake us, and is with us always: God, our amazing LORD, our Father, the Rock of ages, and the King of kings, and LORD of lords.

 He is amazing and a true blessing.  By His grace we are who we are, and by His hands of love, we stand in peace and are comforted, should we know how to access His throne.

As it’s stated in His holy Word:

¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 

(Hebrews 4:16 KJV)

Think about that scripture above for one moment okay? We have  a loving God, ready, willing and able to be at our assistance, any time of  day or night.  Now take it in, and take a deep breath.    Can we  find anything more comforting than that?  Hmmmm?

“Father, thank You for Your faithfulness,  Your precision, and love concerning our well being, we love You, and are blessed to be loved by You, we exalt Your name on high, and careful to give You all the glory, now and forever, in Jesus name, Amen…”

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

Psalms 40:10 KJV
