As a teenager I visited Germany and purchased a decorative gift for my grandparents, which has recently come back into my possession. The Christian plaque bears the words (in German), "God holds faithful watch over this house day and night by grace". This statement was reflective of their own household of faith, just as it is in the lives of all believers.
While sharing a fellowship meal in the home of some friends today, I was reminded of Carol Cymbala's song, "He's Been Faithful".
In my loneliness and fear, through every pain, every tear
There's a God who's been faithful to me
When my strength was all gone, when my heart had no song
Still my God has been faithful to me
Every word He promised is true
What I thought was impossible I've seen my God do
He's been faithful, faithful to me
Just looking back His love and mercy I see
When in my heart I have questioned and failed to believe
He's been faithful, faithful to me
Households of faith always have a special, welcoming atmosphere. For the faithfulness of God is always inviting!
2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NIV) ~ "But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you..."
