“For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you.’” Isaiah 41:13

Proclaim It!

It’s been over five months since Floyd went to be with Jesus. Even after all this time, I sometimes find myself starting to pray for him—and then I remember he doesn’t need my prayers anymore! Maybe it will always be like that. He’s still so close to my heart.

I was reading an article about advertising. There are so many ways these days that we can advertise something if we need to. Various internet platforms, television, multiple kinds of print media, billboards, fliers, etc. The possibilities seem almost limitless. But do you know what is one of the most effective forms of advertising? Word of mouth. Simple. Plain. And powerful. A personal endorsement carries a lot of weight.

While thinking of this, I wanted to say once again that God has been so incredibly faithful to me these last years on our unexpected journey! The Bible talks about God’s faithfulness. Countless books have been written about it. Many tapes, videos, CDs have testified to it. Television shows have proclaimed it. The truth of God’s faithfulness has been shouted from the rooftops.

But, today, I just want to add, once again, my simple testimony. GOD IS FAITHFUL! I want to add my “word of mouth” proclamation. I have faced hundreds, if not thousands, of situations where I could not have endured if it hadn’t been for God’s goodness and faithfulness. He has truly been my Rock, my Refuge, my ever-present strength day-by-day, moment-by-moment. He has rescued me over and over again. He has held my hand. He has whispered comfort into my ear. He has not been just sufficient—He has been more than enough!

I continue to face some hard days, so I even remind myself of God’s faithfulness. The One who has carried me so wonderfully all these years will continue to be with me and be faithful. What an awesome confidence that is.

Father, You won’t let us slip when we are in need. Help us boldly proclaim Your faithfulness from our “housetops.” Amen.
