God is Ever Faithful





Through
the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
“ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“ Therefore I hope in Him!”
Lamentations 3:22-24


An interesting place to visit here in the desert is Joshua Tree National Park, especially when the wildflowers are blooming.
In the midst of of this thirsty, arid territory, wildflower treasures dot the monochromatic landscape with their colorful blooms during the Spring.

As God's creation speaks of Him, I believe He also leaves us messages within it. Let's look at wildflowers, for example.

One of the flowers you'll find in washes and sandy slopes are the Canterbury Bells, which are a symbol for constancy. Constancy is a state of unchanging- being steadfast and faithful. A message of God's faithfulness even in the midst of hard and dry places. And in turn, a message to us as well to remain steadfast in the midst of trials and difficulties.

Isn't it wonderful to know that God is unchanging and that He is steadfast and faithful? In the midst of hard times, as we put our trust and hope in Him, He will bring us through.
