“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23
For many of us, this passage is one of the most precious in Scripture. We appreciate the fullness of God’s blessings and the fact that we can begin every day with new mercies from Him.
We know that we deserve God’s judgment for all the ways we bring Him pain, but we receive instead His love.
Every New Year, people around the world make resolutions that they may keep for a few weeks. We all know that the gyms are packed this time of the year but not nearly as full by Easter! We can count the privilege we have of serving a God Who keeps every promise. He is just as faithful and merciful to us today as He was last year. He will be just as faithful and merciful next year as He is today. He is never affected by any virus, pandemic, or other unexpected surprise.
As we celebrate this new year of 2021, let’s be thankful that we serve a God Who does not need to make any New Year’s resolutions and will keep every promise He has made!
