Struggling Well With Life

Been reading through the Bible, and though all Scripture is God breathed and useful . . . I have been weighed down in Jeremiah. The man spoke truth for decades, obediently - and it did not have the effect on God’s people that he had to have longed for! Then, this past weekend, I finished Jeremiah, and headed into Lamentations. Another upbeat book. Most of us have familiar truths we hang on, speak, and even pray - and here in Lamentations I was taken back to a time when one of these key truths of Scripture landed in my theology and planted itself firmly in my world. 3:22-23 “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.” Decades ago, I was done in, literally at the end of my rope, and in the most lonely isolated place in my life God broke through and revealed this simple yet life changing truth to me - His compassions are new every morning. He rescued me then, and has rescued me every morning since.
