God's constant love

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness" - Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV).

Early in the morning on the planet earth one constant scene is dew - water in form of droplets on exposed leaves or plants. Also, one is most likely to hear the chirping of birds as they rise to a new bright day. Meanwhile, the sun would be rising to shower light into the day.

But these are not the only constant. There is also the abundance of the Lord's love that greets everyone. The Lord's love never ceases for it has been carrying one through to that point. His mercies are obvious through His protection. And of course, while one might be oblivious of all, in the hurried bustle of life, the Lord is faithful and generous to His own.

Perhaps there are things you are not sure of as the day starts. It could be an expectation to hear from someone whose loyalty is in doubt. May be you are anticipating an offer though not certain it will materialize. But there is one fact you should be most assured of, just as the dew is, or the rising of the sun, and that is the steadfast love of the Lord!

May the assuredness of this love keep you going through the day. Just as it has led you this far so will it hold you today and all the days ahead.

Prayer for today: Lord Father God of Abraham, maker of heaven and earth, today I rise thankful for your steadfast love that watches over me to carry me through the day, this I pray in Jesus's name.
