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.
Lamentations 3:22, 23
As we embark on a new year filled with endless possibilities, it is imperative that we remember who we owe it all too… Moses reminds us today that we have been offered a chance to see the year 2016 because of the love of God and not the alarm clock or loved one who woke us up this morning… You have a chance to right your wrongs today, a chance to write a new chapter of your life and a chance to grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because of the Lord’s great love… As a stated before, this is a new year which means new days and new encounters… It is all because of the love which God has for us and displayed through His very own son that we are not consumed… Understand today that the enemy desired to end your life before it begin, he wanted to destroy the vision and plan that God had for you by confusing and confounding your very being as it relates to being in this world and not of it… The word of the Lord reminds us today that Satan will not win; even though we make mistakes, pick up bad habits and travel down the wrong path from time to time we are comforted today to know that God will always watch over us as Moses goes on to say that His compassions never fail… The word compassion (sympathy, concern or care) sheds light on the fact that God is filled with the deepest and purest form of Love for His creation, this pure love allows Him to be able to look beyond and through the flaws and fulfill every need… It is the compassion of God which sustains us because each and every day He deposits a measure of grace and mercy out of the caring valve of His heart into our lives which is why the write goes on to say that they are new every morning…
Knowing that God’s compassion and mercies are new every morning let me know that they are deposited before I even begin my day… This is good news to the believer today as we are informed by Moses that God shows up in our lives and our situations before we even open our eyes to face them… We can declare today that God is faithful because He has been with us each and every day of our lives… He knows the battles that you will encounter in this year ahead, He knows the obstacles that you will have to overcome in the hours ahead and He has already dispatched the resources that you need for your journey each and every day of your travel… When the enemy arrives at your doorstep, when circumstance seem to be out of control, today’s focus verse reminds us to stand strong in faith knowing that God is faithful… The things which came against you in 2015 are landmarks for your testimony going into 2016… You were not consumed because of the love of God… It is because of Him that you and I are alive today, it is because of Him that you and I are able to share and study His word, it is because of Him that you and I are able to see a new year… The enemy thought he had you, but because you serve a faithful God the stumbling blocks of last year have become the stepping stones of this year… This Israelites were ready to turn back from their promised land; right on the doorstep of their breakthrough and they were ready to turn back; today know that you are on the edge of your breakthrough, you are about to come out on top in 2016, the devil is a liar and the love and compassions of God revel that each and every day of our lives… You are not consumed because there is a purpose to your struggle and a soul to be saved through your experiences… Sometimes in life your faith is tested with a storm so that God can show His faithfulness to all those who are watching you go through…
ALL FOR CHRIST!
