His Compassions Fail Not

December 8th, 2018 · No Comments

Lamentations 3:22-25 (King James Version)

22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

How many things can I write regarding these verses? Today, let’s focus on verse 22.

Living in a sinful world, it is possible and probable that we are consumed by the worst this world has to offer. What saves us? The Lord’s mercies. His compassions never fail.

God blesses us eternally. God blesses us temporarily. Now 60 years old, it is sometimes difficult  for me to describe this life in this physical body as temporary, but it is. It is merely one part of my soul’s existence with God. The compassion of God, the mercies of God, allow me to survive this portion of eternity.

Praise and thanks to God for his mercy and compassion.
