Faithfulness

There are so many times that I have had the best of intentions and meant to do something only to be distracted, for it to take longer than I thought, for it to be more involved than I thought it would be or be harder or seemingly impossible and not finish the task or accomplish my goal.

What has been striking me this last week in my prayer time is that God finishes the work that he has started! He knows what is needed, He knows how involved it will be, He does not get distracted, and nothing is hard for Him to do. And He is patient. He will wait through the process and not give up if it doesn't happen quickly. Of course, to God time is insubstantial. What feels an eternity to me is merely a blink of His eye.

I am so thankful that God is faithful. I am so thankful that I can count on Him.
