GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS - LAM. 3:22-24

This is Namma for Christ with the thirty-fifth inspirational message dated Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013. The title of this message is, "GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS - LAMENTATIONS 3:22-24". The title of this message is taken from scripture in the book of Lamentations in which the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah laments or "mourns"  concerning "the once proud Jerusalem", now reduced to rubble by the invading Babylonians. It is like a death has occurred and Jerusalem lies barren (at the time of Jeremiah's writing). In the "midst" of this terrible tragedy, Jeremiah "triumphantly cries out" :  "GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS" (as found in the scripture below): 

Lamentations 3:22-24

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.

The scripture above tells us that - in the face of death and destruction, with life seemingly coming apart, Jeremiah turns "tragedy into a triumph" of  "FAITH". GOD HAS NEVER FAILED HIM IN THE PAST. GOD HAS PROMISED TO REMAIN "FAITHFUL" IN THE FUTURE! IN THE LIGHT OF THE GOD HE KNOWS AND LOVES, JEREMIAH FINDS HOPE AND COMFORT!

WHAT DOES THIS SAY TO US, TODAY? WHEN WE FACE TRIALS OF OUR OWN.... WHAT ARE "WE" TO DO, AND WHERE ARE  "WE" TO TURN?

WHEN THE "DIFFICULT" TIMES  IN OUR LIVES COME....WHEN THERE APPEARS TO BE NO HOPE.....WHAT ARE WE TO DO?

WE MUST LOOK TO JESUS! 

WE MUST LOOK TO OUR LOVING, MERCIFUL SAVIOR!
WE MUST LOOK TO OUR GOD INCARNATE - OUR REDEEMER..."JESUS" WHOSE MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING!   THE LORD'S COMPASSIONS DO NOT FAIL AS LAMENTATIONS 3:22 REMINDS US! 


GREAT IS THE LORD'S FAITHFULNESS!

What Jeremiah said in Lamentations 3:24 (below) during what appeared to be (Jerusalem's) darkest hour is what WE must say during our darkest moments:

Lamentations 3:24 - The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I HOPE IN HIM.

We are not to focus on the problems, the negativity or the present situation - we are to focus on Jesus. We must believe in and pray to Jesus to keep us, guide us and strengthen us! HE LOVES US AND WANTS WHAT IS BEST FOR US! WE MUST HOPE IN OUR LORD!

GREAT IS THE LORD'S FAITHFULNESS!
