I have been on vaction in the Poconos this week. It has been a good time to be away with my extended family. We have ridden bikes, hiked, swam, played with the kids, and ate. While away however I received an e-mail that had the financial report from June from Veritas. In a nutshell, we are in a tight financial situation and we (Veritas and my wife and I) need to make some tough decisions in order for Veritas to continue, including reduction of my salary, increased discussion on tithing and giving, and increased fundraising work. I have been worrying alot about this while on vacation, and during one of my times of thinking and worrying (btw..I wasn't praying about it) while out riding my bike a lyric of a song that I haven't heard in a very very long time popped into my mind. I knew right then and there it was God speaking words of comfort, trust, and hope to me.
The song is a song called "More Faithful" by Skillet. And here are the lyrics to the song:
All the things my feet thought to be firm Are falling with urgency Tearing back my false sense of security
Some say things change, nothing stays the same But the sweetness in my ears Safe in your arms speak the words I love to hear
You have been more faithful than the morning sun You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons
All things I thought that I used to know Are falling down again
Our disillusionment is how we grow Some say things change, nothing stays the same In a world of inconsistency When everything's a lie,
What can cause my heart to believe You have been more faithful than the morning sun You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons
You have been more faithful than the morning sun You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come You have been more faithful than the morning sun You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons
And here is a video of the song:
