(In my despair and anguish) Yet I go back to this – and so I have hope. It is because of the Lord, God – His unfailing love that we have not been killed. His kind mercy comes every morning – always. So, I know the Lord, He is where I live. In Him alone will I hope. The Lord, God cares for each one – each of the people who follow Him. (Lamentations 3:21-25)
Are you ready to put this together? Will you
try? God is faithful! Place all your hopes and dreams – all your life – in His
hands.
Lamentations is a unique book. It shows what
happens when people rebel against God. This book chronicles the pain and
depravity of sin. In the middle of this description of evil and hopelessness,
the writer points to the one and only hope; the Lord, God. Apart from His
continuing, unfailing, vast reservoir of love, caring, and kindness, there is
no hope. Because of that love – while you still have breath – there is hope and
opportunity. God created you. He is calling you to enjoy the peace and joy of
finding purpose in each moment – not tomorrow, nor when you die – today! God has
made you uniquely. He has a plan – a vision – for your life. He has created you
to grasp His truth in unique ways, and He will share that values framework with
you! He has prepared others to partner with you in the work you will do.
Recognize the unfailing kindness of Jesus
Christ. Place all your hope in His love today.
