Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-24
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

Thought for the Day: I always like coming to these verses in chapter three of Lamentations. The opening verses are sad and full of despair as the author knows only trouble. Often people never get through those tough words, never finding their way into these words of hope. Thank goodness Thomas Chisholm found his way. He is the author of the hymn, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” and in the first verse of that hymn we read the words, “thy compassions, they fail not; as thou hast been thou forever wilt be. Great is thy faithfulness…” May each of us find the song of hope coming to our lips even when the circumstances of life appear to be void of hope.

Prayer: Lord God, make your faithfulness my hope. Amen.
