God is faithful

Doing some reading in the book of Job these days on a quest to read through the Bible in chronological order this year. Job had some REALLY bad days! Helps us keep our whining in perspective. Also, getting ready for sharing tonight about the apostle Paul in his letter to Timothy - He says in 2 Tim. 4:16, "At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. ^May it not be charged against them!" Needless to say, Paul was having a REALLY bad day, too!

This song came to mind, here are the lyrics to the chorus:
"Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day"

Even though Job, Paul, even we have "bad days" -- we know the rest of the story. God is still faithful!

Paul says, "The Lord stood by me and strengthened me..."

Another song: 

"Have faith in God when your pathway is lonely. 

He sees and knows all the way you have trod; 

never alone are the least of His children. 

Have faith in God. Have faith in God"
