God Is Always Faithful



I am a brand new blogger and am looking forward to getting started.  God has inspired me to write many things and I have been told that a good way to share would be to blog.  

My friends and church family at Knapps Station Community Church have told me that they enjoy my writing, and I hope to share with you. You will bless me if you read my blog and share your comments.

I have not always walked with God but I know He was always with me.  There have been many times when I got myself in messes that I now know only He could have gotten me out of.  Many times I have not been faithful but He has never left me side.

Have you ever felt that you were not alone even when no one was there?  That is God.  Have you ever heard a quiet little voice urging you to do something?  If it was a good thing, it was the Holy Spirit talking.  If the voice urged you to do something not good, it was Satan.  

We have to listen and choose carefully.  God will assist if we only ask Him.  Our God is almighty. He is the creator of EVERYTHING and He gives us the power of choice.  He also promises to always walk with us and help us.

I have made so many mistakes, committed so many sins and my Loving Father has always been with me, picking me up when I stumble, brushing me off and helping me to get going on the right path. His faithfulness is overwhelming.  It is amazing to know that the Lord of all creation is the same Loving Father who is always present, always watching over each of us.

Psalms 33:4 Says"God is faithful in all He does."
In Joshua 1:5  God tell us  "As it was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you or forsake you."




My God Is With Me Always        
             by Debbie McEwen  @2014


When I listen to deepest recesses of my heart and mind
I hear God
He dwells there
He is always with me
He always was
Even when I forgot Him or got too busy to remember
He never forgot
He never stopped loving
His healing arms always envelop me
Through the bad times and the heartbreaks, 

He supports me
He guides me through life's problems
He never turns His back on me when I sin
He always greets me with open arms
I only have to ask for His forgiveness
I am blessed beyond measure

Because my God is with me always

Psalm 117:2  tells us  "The faithfulness of the Lord endures forever."




The Bite
         By Debbie McEwen @2015


     The bite is back.  It stings my fingers and makes my cheeks rosy.  I hunch my shoulders together as I walk to the brook. 

      The grass is still green but the flowers withered when the first frost hit.  I would welcome a clear blue sky but am greeted by layer upon layer of grey wool above me.  It is a true autumn sky.  

       Stark bare skeletons stand out where canopied tree tops formerly thrived in the summer sun.  Some verdant trees still dare to stand against frigid blasts.  Soon even they will be bare.  Only the evergreens are ever faithful.
  

Today the brook is grey, mirroring the overcast sky.  A couple of trees having weathered many storms, display branches arched at glorious angles defying the winds and declaring their will to survive.

       I walk home, invigorated.  My limbs move a little faster, a bit smoother, loosened by my jaunt.  My spirits are lifted.



Psalms 27: 4  To gaze on the beauty of the Lord 
(uplifts my soul and makes my spirits soar.)

 I hope to post on my blog about every other week, God willing!

I am planning to publish my writings in book form so please pray for God's guidance for me in this endeavor. I have started the process and will keep you posted as developments occur.  
                                                                                                    
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share my blog.

I will close with a blessing from Numbers 6: 26-28

  May the Lord bless you and keep you

  May the Lord make His face to shine upon you
      and be gracious to you
  May the Lord turn His face toward you
       and grant you peace.

Have a blessed week.    Debbie
