Constant! This stream of distractions runs constantly under my feet. I keep tripping along wishing I were stronger. But I know, I know, somewhere up ahead is a place where waters still run deep. They're whispering "come," beckoning me on. Constant is my Father's calling me to follow Him against the current. I continue on in His promise to be constant. Oh, God did, God did, what I could not do. He stayed faithful when I untrue. So you see I must follow where else could I go? Constant is my Father's calling me to follow Him against the current. I continue on in His promise to be constant. I got carried away in over my head far from the shoreline. Never waiting for my hand He extended His only Son, my lifeline. And constant is my Father's calling. I'll follow Him against the current and I will continue on for He is Constant, He is Constant. Oh constant is my fAther's calling me to follow Him against the current. I will continue on, I will be pulled along for He is Constant, Constant. I'll follow, follow, follow my Father. I follow, follow, follow my Father. Oh, I'm going on, I can hear Him call. So, I'll go on in His promise For He is constant. Some days are just like that. I am so bogged down and tripping through the day that I forget. He is constant. My savior has not changed. He is the same everyday. He is not surprised or swayed by the latest news or story. Today, I turned to the Word and pleaded for 'a word.' Please give me something, Lord, a little nugget to chew. You know like a revelation, something really big. Let me say, if He repeats Himself, it's probably a point He doesn't want me to miss. How is it that I can read something a half dozen times and still miss it at first. And why can't it be simple, a simple truth that I know to be true? Why do I have to get my nugget in bold print or embellished with glitter? But today, it's just a simple phrase with reverberating truth. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the tip of his staff. By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave insturctions about his bones. By faith Moses' parents hid him for 3 months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger. By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. By faith the walls of Jericho fell. By faith the prostitute Rahab, becasue she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those wher were disobedient. -from Hebrews 11 Only 2 words, but very important. "By faith" Even a prostitute, whose sins are obvious and seem so wrong, can be blessed and watch miracles happen in her life, by faith. It's all in believing. Believing God. Not like those Christmas shirts that say "believe" with a little picture of Santa Clause. And not believing because I'm naive or just clinging to religion. Believing because the One who said it is faithful. And He proves Himself all the time through the lives of His believing followers.
