Great is Thy Faithfulness

It has been really good to be back home for the weekend and I have had the opportunity to catch up with many of my friends which has been a real blessing!

I find it amazing how God knows us so well that he even knows our thoughts and emotions. This morning at church I was feeling a bit distracted with lots of things flying through my mind. At one stage I was thinking about the money that I still needed to get to meet the costs of my mission to Mexico, when someone asked that we sing Great is Thy Faithfulness. After we had finished, a lady sitting in front of me turned around and said "That song is especially for you!" Right then it just made sense to me, I thought of the words to the chorus that I had just been singing:

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Right then I remembered how faithful God has been to me in the past and that I didn't need to worry because God will provide for me. I felt a great peace and I was able to focus on worshipping God. Praise God for his amazing goodness!

Having said that, I still do need to raise further support to pay for the costs of my trip. I still need approximately $1000 to go towards the cost of airfares and living expenses whilst I am over there. If you are able to assist with this as God enables, please see me or drop me an email.

Thanks to everyone for your continued encouragement and support!

In Him,

Phil
