“This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” ~Lamentations 3:21-26
Hope. Seek. Wait. Faithfulness. Salvation.
As I read this verse these five key words stand out to me. When my heart is overwhelmed God reminds me of this very hope; that if we seek his face and his will, quietly waiting for him, great is his faithfulness and his salvation time and time again to us, his beloved children. His promises are new every morning. What a mighty God we serve!
These promises are extended to all those whose hope is in Him, to those who diligently seek his face, who wait patiently and quietly with full confidence in his mercies, with faith that He will supply all our needs and be our daily portion for he is faithful and mighty to save!
I praise and thank you, Lord for your mercies which are new every morning. It is because of your mercies that we are forgiven and pardoned and freed from our iniquities and empowered to go and sin no more, to have a fresh start, to wake up to new and greater promises. I love you, Lord!
Will you take a moment to thank Him for giving you new hope, a new day, and a fresh new start tomorrow? Share with us all the blessings the Lord has already supplied this week or even today! It blesses His heart when his children remember to thank him for his blessings in their life and it blesses me to hear about them. Please post a comment and share!
