A couple weeks back, I had a post about God’s lovingkindness, compassions and faithfulness. It in, I had quoted from Lamentations. As you may have read in the last day or so, we’ve been struggling with our teen which has caused our family much stress.
But I am happy to report that today is a new day; it truly is a new morning and the words from Lamentations have a new depth of meaning for me. No one ever said life, marriage, or raising children was for the faint of heart. We live in a fallen world and so we will have trouble this side of heaven. But God is bigger than any problem we may face. He loves us and cares about us and though He may not remove the problem His grace is sufficient for us at times to pull us through.
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses, indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. –Lamentations 3:21-23.
His compassions are new for us this morning. Thank you, Lord. Great is Thy faithfulness, unto me.
May He Increase!

The title of your blog says it all!
His mercies are new each day, and He renews our faith each day.
We need it!
Amen! As I grow older I understand more and more that our faith grows and depends during times of trial. God’s not done with any of us yet. I personally have a lot of edges He’s still chipping away at.
Just as Job said, “Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.” (13:15).
Thanks Steve.
