Great is Thy Faithfulness
Lamentations 3:21-26 (NIV) 21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
Today The Church at Rock Creek celebrates her 30th anniversary. I have been a part of this church for four years, and only really became plugged in after going through Immerse, followed by joining various Life Groups.
I have heard those early years were hard, yet a dream was born, carried along by individuals who waited upon God, who hoped in God, and whose faith in God sustained them. And they learned that as long as they walked with God, they would not fail.
So today, I join my church in celebrating this landmark. I lift my pastors up in prayer, and praise God that He gave Mark a vision for West Little Rock that continues to impact lives today.
- “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 wilt be.- Refrain:
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!
- Refrain:
- Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. - 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!
(Thomas Chisolm, 1923)
May we who make up The Church at Rock Creek continue to be found faithful to the call of Jesus Christ upon our lives.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
