Forever Faithful

Lamentations 3:22-25:
"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.
I say to myself, 'The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.'
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

What wonderful words of comfort to God’s people! The Bible is full of promises from our Lord – for peace, prosperity, healing, forgiveness & joy. But the ultimate promise from God is His promise of salvation. These comforting words from Lamentations remind us that God is faithful in his promises. We don’t have to look anywhere else for our inheritance. He is our Deliverer. Rather than putting our hope in a career, a mate, our success, or any idol, we must put our hope in the Lord and seek Him. And in His perfect timing and in his perfect way, He will bless us – now and for eternity.

Two more verses that come to mind:
Hebrews 10:23: "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith for He is faithful that promised."
Isaiah 33:18: "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him."

Remember, it is because of his GREAT LOVE. Instead of destroying a sinful world; instead of giving up on us; instead of calling it quits; his compassions NEVER fail.

Like the old hymn says…stand on His promises...

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing,Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,I’m standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
