◄ What Does Lamentations 3:23 Mean? ►

However deep, dark, and dangerous the circumstances of life are, we are told that the steadfast love of God never ceases towards us. No matter how bleak and evil the world situation becomes, we have God's unfailing reassurance that His mercy and compassion are new every morning; how great is the faithfulness of our gracious God.

Our unbelief looks at the overwhelming circumstances in our own lives and the tremendous troubles raging in the wider world and we feel hopeless and depressed. Our emotions ebb and flow as we fluctuate between two opinions and question God's goodness depending upon our feelings or our fortune.

But a life of faith cannot be founded on the shifting sands of doubt and disappointment, but needs to be secured to the changeless foundation of Jesus Christ Who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, for His steadfast love never ceases.

His mercies never come to an end; His gracious compassion is new every morning; how great is the faithfulness of our gracious God.

Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You that You are a faithful God. What a comfort to me that Your love and mercy, grace and compassion, strength and peace, are new every morning. Keep me, I pray, from the sin of unbelief, and help me to trust in your unfailing promises. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
