Great Is His Faithfulness

Lamentations 3:21-23

This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord's loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness.

I can remember, and remembering gives me hope. God never changes. He has sent His Son to be the fully atoning Sacrifice, completely satisfying God's wrath on sin, in our place and for our benefit. Now God is free to forgive us when we confess, agree with God of the sinfulness of our sins (I John 1:9). So each day is a new start. Each day is the first day of the rest of our life. We can leave the old habits that have made our life miserable and wake up to a brand-new day. Because "His compassions never fail. They are new every morning." He will remain faithful even if we fall down again today; there's always tomorrow.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
