TELL THE STORY

So this morning I am sitting writing my blog at a family reunion. I will post this when I get home but I don’t like going too long without blogging.

Family reunions are great. Relationships change, cousins grow up and get married, have children of their own. Some move far away, some are in transition, some are very close, others are not. That is the way it is with families. Not one is perfect. Yet God moves in each of our lives. He guides each of us the way that we need.

Psalm 89:1 says “I will sing of your great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.” This is the core of our family reunions -to make known His faithfulness through the generations. We will continue reunion with about 125 people, including generations even further. God is faithful with those who commit their ways to him. We should remember with our own family the importance of telling the faithfulness and love of Christ in our lives to those around us. We should remember to listen with open hearts to those who share, understanding that they are sharing “their story.”

We do not know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds our tomorrow. In our job/ministry transition we must daily remember God’s faithfulness to us. The mighty deeds that he has done in our life, his provision when we do not see what is next, the powerful freedom that he has given us in many areas of our personal lives are not to be forgotten. When I begin to doubt and become afraid, he is right there, all I have to do is call on him and he hears and reminds me “I’ve got it”!

What is the story of God’s faithfulness in your life?
