Hope To Continue On Read: Lamentations 3:19-33 Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Lamentations 3:22-23 Bible in a Year: Psalms 140-142; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20 The solar-powered airplane Solar Impulse can fly day and night without fuel. Inventors Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg hope to fly it around the world in 2015. While the plane flies all day by solar power, it gathers enough energy to be able to fly all night. When the sun rises, Piccard says, It brings the hope again that you can continue. The idea of sunrise bringing us hope makes me think of Lamentations 3 from our Bible reading for today: This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning (vv.21-23). Even when God's people were in the depths of despair while the city of Jerusalem was being invaded by the Babylonians, the prophet Jeremiah said they had reason to hopeâthey still had the Lord's mercies and compassions. Sometimes our struggles seem worse at night, but when sunrise comes it brings hope again that we can continue. Weeping may endure for a night, the psalmist says,but joy comes in the morning (Ps. 30:5). Thank You, Lord, for the hope You send with each sunrise. Your mercies and compassions are new every morning! New mercies every morning, Grace for every day, New hope for every trial, And courage all the way. Each new day gives us new reasons to praise the Lord. |
