Day 15 - What A Faithful God Have I (Dawn & Robert Critchley)
This song is a blast from the past! For those that have been part of C3 UNITEDLIFE in its various forms over the past 30 or so years I’m sure you will remember this classic, for others it may be new! Here's a link to it: https://youtu.be/dH8_SKkieJg
Even though this song is now 31 years old, and compared to modern music it sounds dated, the content remains true and untarnished. I still sing this one regularly on full volume at home or in the car, because our God is utterly faithful in every way, and by definition will not change!
Singing this song can often bring me to tears because this truth about God is so outrageous and undeserved (as if we deserved anything of His goodness, but this one in particular brings me to my knees!). It’s so opposite to what we are used to. Contrast His Faithfulness to us, compared to our faithlessness to Him. No one else would endure such a one-sided relationship, let alone peruse it, but He does!
This song reminds me of that and brings a sense of overwhelming gratitude and ‘unrepayable’ thankfulness. I just don’t deserve a God as good as ours! I don’t deserve His love or the good things He has promised to me! But that is our God! God’s faithfulness to us is above everything we are. His faithfulness is based entirely on Himself, its self-contained, He will not change and will never be unfaithful (Exodus 3:14, 2 Timothy 2:13). All promises in Him are guaranteed, He will protect you, love you, provide for you, heal you and accept you, because of who He is, not how good you are!
It’s totally incredible! It’s unheard of in this world, but it’s true! What a Faithful God have I.
Think it over / Meditate on:
Did you know that God is always Faithful?
Ask God to help you understand His unconditional love and grace to you and what that means for your life.
