Have you
had your Joy Juice today? The taste of
pure joy is always fresh AND refreshing!
We hear the
verses in Lamentations 3:22-24 frequently. But they NEVER grow old. The truth of scripture is such a precious
reminder that God’s love, mercy and goodness are constant. Let these words refresh your heart today:
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The
prophet, Jeremiah, wrote the book of Lamentations. Jerusalem had been destroyed
by Babylon and her people killed, tortured or taken captive. Jeremiah knew from
personal experience about God’s faithfulness.
My Life Application Study Bible tells us: “God had promised that
punishment would follow disobedience and it did. But God also had promised
future restoration and blessing, and Jeremiah knew that God would keep that
promise. Trusting in God’s faithfulness
day by day makes us confident in his great promises for the future.”
Genuine joy
is evidenced in Jeremiah’s words as he proclaimed that the Lord’s great love
that is endless and new every morning. Joy can be ours when we unwaveringly
trust in God’s faithfulness.
May
we cling to the Lord as our personal “portion” of joy…each and every day!
