Music Monday . . . on Tuesday

As I was writing my post yesterday, I realized it was Monday -- Music Monday -- but I decided to wait until today to publish my weekly music video segment.  The post I wrote yesterday spoke to what I had experienced and was feeling at that moment, and it was more important for me to express those emotions.

The song and video I've selected reflects my experience Monday afternoon.  Great is Thy Faithfulness is one of my favorite hymns.  My kids know that it is one of the songs I want at my memorial service.  I think they probably knew that even before I mentioned it to them.  I suggested it for my aunt's service three years ago and if I have any say in the matter, I will suggest it for my parents' services (pray God, a long time from now).

The refrain of the song is what speaks to my heart the most.  If I am going to cry at any point when I sing it (almost a given) it will be during the refrain, especially this:

All I have needed

Thy hand hath provided   

Great is Thy faithfulness

Lord unto me.

God is so faithful to give me what I need.  Not what I think I need or what I want.  In His great wisdom and unfailing love, He gives me what He knows -- with his perfect omniscience -- I need for this moment and the next moment, until the day comes when He will fulfill my ultimate need and lead me into His eternal presence.  Praise God for His great faithfulness!
