Lamentations 1:1-3:36: Are you laboring under a burden these days for our nation? For your family? For your community or your church? If you are sweet friend you can identify somewhat with the writer of Lamentations. He was heartsick over his beloved country that was in shambles because they had been conquered. He was heartsick for the people who had left their relationship with the One True God. He was lamenting over so many losses. Yet these are some of the words he pinned.
Lamentations 3:22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; Because of the steadfast love of the Lord, we are not cut off
his mercies never come to an end;
23they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
25The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
26 It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
What a great message for us today as well. No matter what happens around us we can know
*God’s steadfast love never ceases
*His mercies are new every morning and He is faithful
*The Lord is good to those who wait on Him even on dark days
*God is enough for whatever you face. He can handle it. He is in control. Rest in Him.
*Your job is not to fix the problems around you but to seek Him
*Waiting on Him may seem like you are doing nothing, but waiting on Him to do the doing is a part of active faith. You can do it!
As we wait patiently on the Lord through out 2020 may we grow stronger daily in our faith and walk with Him. May 2020 give us clearer vision of who He is and what He can and will do!
