Faithfulness is one characteristic of God. This is demonstrated by ways He provides for us, through His promises and practical actions in our lives. He is steadfast and patient with us. When the sun rises each day, it declares the faithfulness and truth of God. He does not fail, nor disappoint, nor do us harm. But, there are times when we tend to think otherwise, right? Have you ever listed ways you’ve experienced God’s faithfulness in your life? Have you noted the many occasions He provided for you or comforted you and brought the right answer at just the right time? When that happens, it is amazing. And, I don’t know about you, but I feel amazed every new time. I recall a time when I really had to talk to myself, much like David, who wrote most Psalms. He said several times, “Why so downcast Oh my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God; wait for His saving intervention.” And we feel this way at times too — in despair, disturbed within, discouraged, sad.

Common Quandary

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

Someone you love asks, “Do you think I’ll be okay?” What if you do not?

A relative with a poor prognosis asks whether you think they will recover. They seem to need reassurance, but you believe the odds are very low and do not want to spend the remaining time pretending.

Can preserving hope justify saying more than you believe?
