“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.” - Lamentations 3:21-23 (KJV)
Every new day is a gate and with its dawn is the constant reminder that God’s compassions fail not and are new every morning.
How easily some people forget such precious grace!
The writer in our theme scripture says, “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.”
The Message Bible Version says, “But there’s one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope.”
If you go to bed burdened by the weight of failure or twisted into knots by the shackles of weakness, God expects you to awaken to the blessed assurance that compassion awaits you.
Every Christian must start his or her day with the expectation of God’s faithfulness.
Was yesterday tainted by struggle? It is a new day–great is His faithfulness.
Do you feel like you fell short the previous day? It is a new day–great is His faithfulness.
Let His faithfulness be the first thought that awakens you in the morning. Throughout the day, may it be your constant meditation. May the expectation of His faithfulness anchor your soul in hope.
Hallelujah!
