WEEK 49
December 4, 2023
Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV) “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
The prophet Jeremiah tells us that the Lord is merciful. Mercy means withholding what we deserve, not giving us the punishment we really have earned. And it is through the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed. We deserve judgment from God because we have broken His law, spurned His love, offended Him, and dishonored Him. Every time we sin we do that. We should be consumed by His justice, but His justice is tempered by mercy. And His mercy is based on His compassion.
Fortunately for us, His compassions never come to an end. They are new every morning. God never runs out of supply, and every day is a new day. Isn’t that wonderful? You get up and it’s a new day, and you can expect all the compassions of God are available for that day. Great is His faithfulness. The bedrock of God’s mercy and compassion is His covenant. When He makes a promise, He keeps it, and He has promised us mercy and compassion if we believe in Him, and He will be faithful to His covenant.
Sharalyn and I, along with our team at Trinity, are praying for you this week!
For His Glory,
Ps Beau
