“His Faithfulness…As Broad As the Day”
by Dona Hake
Lamentations 3:22-23 (VOICE)
“How enduring is God’s loyal love;
the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion.
Here they are, every morning, new!
Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day.”
There is nothing so loyal and beautiful in this life like the faithfulness and love of our God. Whether we deserve it or not, He sheds His love toward us and He is a faithful God. Before we even called upon His Name to be saved He loved us with a precious love…a love deep enough to send His only Son. I love how this verse says that His loyal love is enduring and it is inexhaustible. As He shows His love to me, it challenges my heart to love the same way. He desires that the love that flows from our hearts to be loyal, enduring and inexhaustible. After all, we were created in His image therefore He can enable us to love like Him.
There may be people in your life that you find very easy to get along with and yet there are those that just seem to drain you of your energy. Allow this scripture to challenge your heart. Seek to draw upon the love from above that never runs out of energy and it endures anything.
Remember that every morning you wake up He is seeking new ways to show His love to you. Everything about God begins afresh each day and His compassion is NEVER limited. Just as I exhorted you yesterday to look to His new mercies, let us look and praise Him for His great faithfulness. This thought also challenges me to draw upon that fresh new compassion each day. Everyone of us has a day ahead of us and each of us will face different challenges. Know this, the God of all love is able to help you endure anything with the love that flows straight from His heart! Praise the living God for His faithfulness is broad as the day!!!
