Make no mistake about it, we all make mistakes.
We say the wrong thing in the heat of the moment. Or choose a path we know God doesn’t approve, yet there we are anyway.
Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV) assures us that God’s love for us never fails.
“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.’”
Let’s look at this passage a snippet at a time.
Snippet No. 1:
“Because of the Lord’s great love …”
We have a Father in heaven who treasures us as his children. Make no mistake about it.
Snippet No. 2:
“… we are not consumed …”
His protecting hand is on us at all times. He watches out for us.
Snippet No. 3:
“… his compassions never fail.”
God’s heart is tender towards us. During mistakes, during wrong choices, he loves us.
Snippet No. 4:
“They are new every morning …”
God comes to us afresh every day. He offers us a fresh start every morning.
Snippet No. 5:
“… great is your faithfulness.”
He never reneges on his promises of protection. He is always there for us.
Snippet No. 6:
“I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my portion …’ ”
He is our support and encouragement. Our faith in him is truly enough to carry us through.
Snippet No. 7:
“… therefore I will wait for him.’ ”
How do we wait for him? In prayer, during time in his Word, and in seeking advice from the elder saints who have already walked the paths we travel.
We all make mistakes, yet our Father picks us back up every time. Reach out to him. His hand is already reaching out to you.
