This morning I just had these verses from Lamentations going through my mind:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
great is Thy faithfulness!

What promise and assurance we find in this passage:

1. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. God’s love is not subject to changing - it remains constant, and never runs dry, not even when we are in weakness, stressed, neglect Him, or sin. His love remains the same and is so much more than enough to sustain us for this day and every day after.

2. His mercies never come to an end. I love a particular definition of mercy, that states: compassionate treatment of those in distress. This speaks two fold. Without Jesus our lives are in distress.  And what compassion is lavished on all of us, that we are saved through Jesus Christ and brought into relationship with God.  Secondly, as the verse describes, this mercy never comes to an end - it covers us, and anytime your may feel distressed, remember the amazing mercies of our God.

3. They are new every morning. Praise God! Every day is a fresh start.  I encourage you this morning, invite God into every aspect of your day, and let yourself be showered in the unending mercy and love of our great God - trust me that is more than enough to sustain us for today.

4. Great is thy faithfulness! It never hurts to end is an exclamation of priase to God - actually it’s one of the best things to do! The Bible admonishes us to give thanks and praise to God in all things.  So let your praise ring out today for the greatness of our God.
