Lamentations 3:21-24 says, “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies are new every morning; great is your faithfulness, The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I have hope in him.” (ESV).
These verses not only tell us about hope, but it also mentions the steadfast love of the Lord. The next part of the verse goes on to say that every morning can be a new start, because of the Lord’s mercy. I love that we can wake up every morning to a new start!
Today, when you think about something in your past that you wish you had not done, remember there is forgiveness in the Lord, and hope in a new day. The hope of Christ and His love, mercy and faithfulness allows us to wake up to a fresh start.
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV). Aren’t you happy to know Jesus is doing a new thing? It is springing forth!
