"Thou changest not. Thy compassions they fail not."

Finished feeding Caleb and wanted a few minutes away with the Lord before heading back to sleep.

I wrote a love note to my hubby and placed it near the door. Then, I made some hot cocoa and curled up on the sofa with my journal and Bible. I had a portion of two songs stuck in my mind. One of which I could hardly remember the right lyrics. I wrote them in my journal as I prayed, and then listened to the songs.

Beth Moore calls these moments GODstops, because it's like God is saying, "Stop! Look what I'm doing in your life right now!"

The two songs' lyrics that I could remember went as follows:
"...chiseled...carving idols of stone
have crumbled like sand 'neath the waves...
All the [pennies] I've wasted in my wishing well..."

"He's always been faithful to me."

Couldn't remember the title of the first song. The second song's title is the same as the lyric above. Between the two songs I saw a theme: God dashes our idols to the group and washes them away, because He's always faithful to us. Those idols will never satisfy and give us what we need or what our soul's desire, only He will. Therefore, His loving faithfulness sweeps those empty pitchers out from under our parched lips and sweeps us under His waterfall of Living Water. (John 4)

Well, to gather all this together: I found the first song on my iTunes. The title, Faithful to Me. Some may call it coincidence, but I think it's God saying, "Stop! Remember this: I'm always faithful to you. I'll dash anything to the ground that draws you away from me. I love you! I satisfy your soul as nothing else can!"

Both songs are of God's faithfulness, smashed up in my mind, and I didn't even know it. Sweet, sweet intimate reminders of a faithful and personal God. It's wonderful that God is faithful, but it's extra-wonderful that He personally reminds His children with little times like these.
