Lamentations 3:25-26 – The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
One of the more popular hymns is “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.” This hymn was written by Thomas Chisholm, and composed by William Runyan. Mr. Chisholm wrote the poem to account for God’s faithfulness and mercy over his lifetime.
Chisholm was born in Kentucky, but did not become a Christian until he was twenty-six. He entered ministry at thirty-six, though poor health forced him to retire after just one year. During the rest of his life, Chisholm spent many years living in New Jersey and working as a life insurance agent. Still, even with a desk job, he wrote nearly 1,200 poems throughout his life, including several published hymns.
Chisholm explained toward the end of his life, “My income has not been large at any time due to impaired health in the earlier years which has followed me on until now. Although I must not fail to record here the unfailing faithfulness of a covenant-keeping God and that He has given me many wonderful displays of His providing care, for which I am filled with astonishing gratefulness.”
Like Chisholm, our circumstances may not always be favorable, but it is in these moments that we can see God’s faithfulness at work in our lives.
When trials and struggles seem to be an every day occurance, we can reassure ourselves through Scripture that our trials are only temporary. God’s promises will not fail.
