God's Faithful Love

Have you ever marveled at the steadfast love showered upon you by a faithful and merciful God? It is good to reflect upon this every day upon awaking and before sleep. "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness (Lam.3:22–23). This selection from Lamentations comes in the middle of a lament that searches the soul. It is often that we discover God's never-ending love when we face our greatest trials and sadness. Paul recognized the joy of faith when he wrote to the church in Philippi. "Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith," (Phil. 1:25). We can all experience the joy that results from a faithful and merciful God.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. (Eph. 1:3–4)

PRAYER: Lord, I give thanks this day for Your faithful love. Amen.
