Lamentations 3:21-26 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions 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.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him’ it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Today’s scripture is one of my favorites for all sorts of times when navigating through “the storms” of life. Seasons of life come and go, difficulties and challenges, illnesses and concerns…they all present times of stress and discouragement. But God is faithful and his compassions for us never fail. Each and every day starts with a new opportunity to trust him and seek him and place our hope in him.
This morning I’m watching the weather channel as once again this year, the State of FL is about to get hammered with another hurricane—this one, Helene. I have several cousins, nephews and their families, and many friends living in FL; so it is on my mind perhaps more than usual. What I know is this—God is watching over them. Storms come and go, and my prayers are that damage this time around will be minimal.
I have many family and friends here locally, and many are facing storms and challenges of various sorts. What I know is this—God is watching over them as well. God is faithful. His compassions never fail and his mercies are new every morning.
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the comforting words of encouragement today. When we face storms whether naturally caused by weather or any other storms of life, we know you care deeply for us. Guide us to pass on the encouragement you give us to those around us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
