Great is Thy Faithfulness

Today's devotion comes from Genesis 9:13-15. These verses are from the familiar story of Noah's Ark. After God sent floods to destroy the earth, He sent a rainbow as a covenant. It was a symbolic promise that God would never send floods to destroy life on earth again. However, "God doesn’t always seal His promises with a visual sign; sometimes we see God’s promises reflected in other ways."

Today's song reference is a traditional hymn that has spanned over many generations. The lyrics say:

"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.

Then the chorus proclaims:

"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!"

This devotion challenges you to find what rainbows you see? Where do you witness God’s faithfulness to you? Maybe it was some last minute cash you needed, a ride to work when your car broke down, or a free meal. Look for "rainbows" in the small needs He meets at just the right time. Credit His goodness when good fortune comes your way...not luck.

God, I thank you...

Amen.
