Daily Bible Reading - Saturday August 15th

We see in Nehemiah the true faithfulness of God.  He gave them the fertile and prosperous land and their land was producing all kinds of harvests but they were disobeying God so He let them destroy themselves and things were not going their way.  But then they cried for God to help them and out of His mercy and grace He helped them and they were becoming prosperous once again.  But then again they turned away from God and were disobeying Him, doing their own thing so God let them destroy themselves once again.  Once again they cried out to God for help, He heard their cries and helped them again.  I think this went on and on.  This really spoke to me this morning, showing me that no matter what we do we can turn to God and He will hear us, no matter how many times we have sinned against God He will hear us and be faithful to helping us out of our own sins.  Even if we turn our backs on God time after time, He will be faithful to forgive us, pick us up, dust us off and help us on our way.  If that isn’t love I don’t know what is.  We pretty much see the same thing in Corinthians of how faithful God is to us.  You know, God only wants the best for us but sometimes we just wont allow Him to give us His best but when WE have faith in God and are faithful to Him and His word, watch out because His blessing will flow like a river.
