The Mercies of God

"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!' The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."

Lamentations 3:22-26

So often I overlook and do not acknowledge the great MERCIES of the Lord. This passage refers not only to the mercy of God, but also His faithfulness, love, kindness and compassion. It is in these things that I may find rest and hope. Yet the things of this world vie for my time and heart. I pray that my soul may seek the Lord, that my hope may be in Him and that I may wait paitently for the day that I will be with Him in glory. What is it that you wait for? What is it that you praise? What is it that you hope in? I pray that it is in the mercies of our great and loving Savior.
