And We Will Sing Out As We Go On, "Our God is Faithful."

It amazes me how I always think that I'm so strong and that I can easily handle anything. I can't. I'm going through a lot of difficult changes right now. Probably more changes than I have ever had to deal with in my life. What amazes me even more is how faithful our God is. I was having a rough night so I logged in to check my email before going to bed and there was an email from Mr. Moser about choir starting up this fall. He announced that we would be performing "Messiah" for the winter cantata. Words can't even express how excited I am about this. Singing in a performance of Messiah is on my goal list. It's one of my absolute favorite works. Anyway, I was starting to break down and I found myself crying out "Lord, thank you for Messiah!!" I was so thankful to have something exciting and good happen today. And then it hit me. Thank you Lord for my Messiah. My Messiah sent just what I needed exactly when I needed it. He gave me the simple reminder I needed that He will never leave me or forsake me, no matter how absolutely alone I feel. He alone is my refuge and strength.

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
Selah

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

Come, behold the works of the LORD,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
"Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!"
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
~Psalm 46
