“Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassion 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’.”
(Lamentations 3: 22 – 24)
It is always good to remind ourselves of the greatness of God’s love. In a world where everything is changing so fast, how reassuring to be able to put all our hope and faith in the one constant in our world – the character and nature of Almighty God Himself. Yet these verses remind us that every day brings new challenges, new experiences, new joys, new sorrows. At the same time, the love and compassion of God, as we know them and have proved them in the person of our Saviour Jesus, just keep on renewing every day, just the same as the one before, and the one before.
His character is to be faithful to His Word and to his promises. Whatever is going on around us in our daily lives, no matter how full of turmoil and confusion they may seem to be, the unchanging faithfulness of God, the evidence and proof of His love for each of us His people, is there to provide the constancy and certainty that we so much seek.
