“Faithful, forever you are faithful. Father to the fatherless, you uphold the one who feels forsaken, you are faithful, God. Faithful, forever you are faithful. Lover of the wounded heart, you defend the poor and forgotten, you are faithful, God. And I will sing to the Maker of heaven and earth. God you reign forever and your love will endure. Faithful and true is the name of the Lord, you are faithful God. Faithful, forever you are faithful. Shelter for the fragile soul, you lift us up you hold us all together. You are faithful God. You are there in every season of my soul. You are there. You’re the anchor that will hold. You are there in the valley of the shadows. You are faithful God.” (‘Faithful’, Chris Tomlin) These beautiful words written by the very talented Chris Tomlin speak of God’s forever faithfulness. God is always faithful to us, even when we are not faithful to him. God’s Word tells us that he will never leave or forsake us. He will never abandon us. (Hebrews 13:5) Psalm 61, is David’s prayer for security and assurance. He knew that no matter where he is God hears his cries for help. “O God, listen to my cry! Hear my plea! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings.” (1-4) The very same holds true for us. No matter where we are or what we have done, God hears our cries for help. He is there with us each and every day, each and every step of the way, whether or not we recognize his presence. When we ignore him, he is there. When we turn from him, he is there. When we need him the most, he is there. He is always there. He hears you. He sees you. He loves you. Faithful, forever He is faithful.
