He always amazes me

with His faithfulness.

When I tire, when I doubt, when I waver and wonder if I can make it, He always remains unchanged. And even my praise is insufficient and lacking, but these things I will treasure up in my heart--testimonies of God's faithfulness--for those times when I again need reassurance of His faithfulness. What spurred this post was looking at my grades for this semester. After a rough finals week, I was just blown away by God's mercy. I know now that it's not what I feel but everything is truly held firmly in God's hands. I came out of finals feeling almost defeated and as though I'd failed and ruined everything that I had been working towards the entire semester. I came away from finals also frustrated at the way that I was fearful and stressed out; feeling guilty that it was a struggle for me to cling to God's promises.

Before I even looked at my grades, God reassured and reminded me during my quiet time that everything that I need has already been satisfied in Christ. That no matter what happens nothing will compromise God's perfect will.

I feel like everything that I've been going through boils down to Psalm 27...just reading this passage brought so much comfort and I feel really incapable of explaining the gratitude I have towards God...so here's scripture

1The LORD is my(A) light and my(B) salvation;
(C) whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold[a] of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

2When evildoers assail me
to(D) eat up my flesh,my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3(E) Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet[b] I will be confident.

4(F) One thing have I asked of the LORD,
that will I seek after:
that I may(G) dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,to gaze upon(H)
the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire[c] in his temple.

5For he will(I) hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will(J) lift me high upon a rock.
6And now my(K) head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of(L) joy;(M)
I will sing and make melody to the LORD.

7(N) Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
8You have said,(O) "Seek[d] my face."
My heart says to you, "Your face, LORD, do I seek."[e]

9(P) Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not, (Q) O God of my salvation!
10For(R) my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the LORD will(S) take me in.
11(T) Teach me your way, O LORD,
and lead me on(U) a level path
because of my enemies.

12(V) Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for(W) false witnesses have risen against me,
and they(X) breathe out violence.
13I believe[f] that I shall look upon(Y) the goodness of the LORD
in(Z) the land of the living!
14(AA) Wait for the LORD;
(AB) be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!

Lord, You are amazing not because of the blessings that You lavish upong me but because of who You are. Praise God for the birth of Christ. Praise Him for now God and sinners are reconciled :)

Merry Christmas everyone.
Thank you, God for Jesus.
