New every morning

Finances, broken friendships, health, sorrows and joys is what life brings. There are times when we as children of God get scared and unsure of what is coming next. We wait for the proverbial  straw that will break our backs to come. Have you ever felt this way too? We stumble and mess up, we repent and try again. Up/Down life is somewhat of a roller coaster for most of us. Now there are some who are really secure or mature who never, it seems lose sight of the Lord...but it is time to be honest, even the most mature in the Lord wobble once in awhile. It might be the loss of a loved one or a diagnosis of illness or the loss of something important to them but all humanity is built in frailty and without new mornings we would surely be given to despair. Lamentations 3:22-24- Through the LORD'S MERCIES we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are NEW EVERY MORNING; Great is your faithfulness."The Lord is my portion," says my soul, " Therefore I hope in Him." You see this scripture tells us allot in such a small space. It tell us that is because God has mercy and compassion(in the plural) that we are not consumed by the troubles of life. When we make God our portion, our defense we will find that we have hope. Not hope in solution of work but hope in Him to show us the way and make the path straight to it. We put our trust in HIM. Lamentations 3:25-26 goes on to further tell us a plan-The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and waith quietly for the salvation of the Lord.- I noticed that the scripture is not one of frantic and panic but peace and assiduity. So let us find peace and calmness in knowing what the scripture tell us. We who seek and wait  on Him do a good thing and can rest assured that the salvation/solution from the Lord is on its way.
