God Is Faithful!
"Through the Lord’s mercies we are not
consumed, because His compassions
fail not. They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3: 22-23
When was the last time you went to bed at night
and thought, “I wonder if the sun
will rise in the
morning?” To put it more accurately, “I wonder if
the earth will stop spinning on its axis
overnight?”
You probably have never had any doubt
about the sun and planets’ faithfulness
to make their appointed rounds.
Just as the sun rises every morning, so are God’s
compassion and mercy “new every morning.” It is
not as if God turns off His mercy and compassion
overnight and turns them on again in the morning.
What Jeremiah meant above is God’s mercy and
compassion never cease because God is faithful.
His words are fulfilled; He keeps His promises;
His blessings remain
(Numbers 23:19-20).
If God keeps the universe running on time, can
we not trust Him to be faithful in the details
of
our life? Yes! God’s promises and blessings,
with His
compassion and mercy, are new for
us every morning.
"He’s been
faithful,
faithful to me. Looking
back, His love and mercy
I see."
