Because Of The Lord’s Great Love

We Are Not Consumed

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

Lamentations 3:21-26

Children are open to new adventures and see life with humble, wide-eyed wonder. Perhaps this is part of what Jesus had in mind when He said that we have to “receive the kingdom of God like a little child.”

In the middle of our troubles, be reminded of an amazing truth: “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.”

God’s fresh mercies can break into our lives at any moment. They are always there, and we see them when we live with childlike expectation – watching and waiting for what only He can do. Jeremiah knew that God’s goodness is not defined only by our immediate circumstances and that His faithfulness is greater than life’s rough places. Look for God’s fresh mercies today.

God is greater than anything that happens to us.
