Psalm 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.
Just last week, I was in church with my daughter and her family, when the preacher asked a parishioner to join him on the stage to discuss the faithfulness of God in answering prayers.
Even as they began their discussion, memories of the faithfulness of God, (even as I confess a sporadic, weak prayer life), flooded my mind. Times of comfort and challenge came to mind, sometimes including miraculous answers, and sometimes simply providing the gift of patience in waiting.
As many who follow may know, I have had the privilege of knowing the Lord Jesus for over 4 decades. During those years, He has proved Himself to be a faithful, kind and loving Savior. And as I have learned to lean on Jesus, He has shown Himself to be a merciful Savior, never wavering, even in some very dark times.
This topical series will try to provide a snapshot of an ol’ fools weak and selfish prayers and the ever increasing goodness of God in His responses the those prayers.
I hope my witness to the faithfulness of God will be an encouragement to those reading, and will spur us all on to a deeper, more consistent time of being in the Lord’s presence.
Please visit with me as I tell the story of a faithful God and His care for an ol’ fool. Though David considered himself a poor man in the Psalm, I freely admit, I am just an “ol’ fool” looking to the Lord.
Thanks for joining and Considering The Bible with me. Your thoughts are always welcome, and I look forward to hearing of the faithfulness of God in your lives.
