Lamentations 3:22-23

Lamentations 3:22-23

²² The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
²³ they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

One thing that I find amazing about the Bible is the stories. These verses which has so much hope and so much optimism comes out of a very dark time for God's people. Their city had been conquered. The temple had been violated and destroyed and the people sold as slaves. Yet out of this we receive a truth about God. 

God's mercies never come to an end. 
His mercies are new every morning.

God help us to understand your love
God help us to trust you
God help us to through out the lies
God help us to listen to you!

Trust God

James1:5-8 NIV
⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. ⁶ But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

This I find to be one of the hardest things. Not to doubt. God makes it clear we should not doubt him. God is not a liar.  

We had a speaker yesterday who emphasized the point that we need to believe by faith what God says. Satan tries every day to make us believe lies and sometimes he makes us believe/feel they are true. He emphasized that God loves us and has a plan for us, and we truly need to believe this. If we don't we find ourselves lacking strength, power ... because we try to do things ourselves.

We need to trust God and his word that he is not a liar, and trust him that he has a plan for us. Otherwise we will doubt and be like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. And maybe by being tossed by the wind we lose part of God's plan for us (so let us try to trust more and more each day). But let us remember God always takes us back if we ask for forgivness and will reinstate a new plan for us.

Lamentations3:22-23

²² The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
²³ they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

God help us have faith,
God help us trust you,
God help us trust your promises to us
God help us to understand your truth
God lead us
God speak to us
