Find Hope in God’s Faithfulness

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

Hebrews 10:23

He had dreamed of making a difference. As a young man, Thomas had pictured himself behind a pulpit, leading others closer to God. But life had other plans. Illness robbed him of the strength to preach, and financial struggles followed close behind.

One evening, as the sun dipped low and shadows filled the room, Thomas sat at his desk. His frail hands trembled as he opened his journal. He could have written about the disappointment, the missed opportunities, or the life he thought he had lost.

Instead, his mind turned to the quiet ways God had shown up: a kind neighbor bringing a meal, a check in the mail just when he needed it, a peace that carried him through sleepless nights.

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” he wrote, the words forming like a prayer. Each line became a declaration: “Morning by morning, new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.”

That hymn would go on to inspire millions, sung in churches, homes, and hospital rooms. But for Thomas Chisholm, it was a reminder that when life does not go as planned, God’s faithfulness remains.

If today feels overwhelming, know this: God’s faithfulness does not waver. Like Thomas, you can cling to the truth that morning by morning, His mercies will meet you right where you are.
