Saints throughout history have affirmed it, and hymns and worship songs celebrate it.\nBut what if it doesn\u2019t look that way to you? You\u2019re not alone. The Bible is full of examples of God\u2019s children struggling to trust him in seasons of disappointment, discouragement, danger, disaster, depression, and deep grief\u2014only to see God\u2019s faithfulness to them manifest in surprising ways.\nThese meditations are designed to help you grow in your ability to recognize God\u2019s faithfulness in places you may not typically look, at times you don\u2019t expect, and in providences\u2014 especially the most disturbing and devastating ones\u2014that often don\u2019t look like God\u2019s faithfulness.\nBecause the more you see it, the more wonderful God\u2019s faithfulness becomes to you. And the more you\u2019ll realize that \u201call the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness\u201d (Psalm 25:10).","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/ee21fc9b-6b80-4115-9a89-d7a1816a89ce/Jesus-Smart-X-pod-art-Oct-25.png"}
