Lamentations 3:22-23
English Standard Version (ESV)
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
The above pictures were actually taken two days ago, but since the weather is pretty much the same as it was then, I figured I would post them anyway. ^_^
************************
When it is sunny and warm outside, I usually wake up in a good mood. I struggle with keeping that good mood all day long. It's a relief to remember the verses from Lamentations about God's mercies being new each morning; we should rejoice that we have such a loving and gracious God that gives us each and every day of our lives. We're living and breathing because He gave us the breath of Life.
Let us remember that though we are not perfect, we have the Lord to rely on in every circumstance, however big or small it may be.
"Great is Thy Faithfulness"
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow if turning with Thee.
Thou changest not: Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
(Lutheran Service Book, hymn 809)
