God Is Still Faithful

Haiti. As I look at the television at the images from Haiti, it truly saddens me. I just cannot imagine the range of emotions that the people of Haiti are dealing with now. Many people have lost everything. Their family. Their homes. Their belongings. And worse of all, many people have loss their hope. I can see how people can question God in such a devastating situation. Why them, God? All in all, it just does not seem fair.

One of the chapters I think of when someone is going through a tragedy is Lamentations 3. This chapter is describing all of the graphic things that a person has gone through in their life. This person is describing how they feel God has turned on them and through this experience how their "strength and hope has perished from the Lord." It is a very dark, sad chapter, about what this person has experienced, until....

"Through the Lord's mercies, we are not consumed. Because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is your faithfulness..." Lamentations 3:22. Even through tragedy of this person in chapter 3, He still recognized that God is faithful. Like so, I truly believe that even through this unimaginable tragedy in Haiti, God is faithful. God is showing himself through people all over the world who are giving of time, money, prayers, and possessions to come help the people of Haiti. We are coming together and reaching out to the people who need us most at this time. It really touches my heart when we can come together, because this is what being a Christian is all about. This is what Jesus did. We are called to reach out to those in need.

Although we may never understand why circumstances like this happen, understand that God is still faithful even through the midst of tragedy. Let him use you to do what you can for the people of Haiti, whether it be financial or continually lifting them up in prayer. We need to do what we can do to help, and God will do the rest. Great Is His Faithfulness.
