After being rejected, hated, mocked, imprisoned, and ignored---After seeing his beloved Jerusalem ransacked, desecrated and destroyed---After experiencing the horror of war, the brutality of the enemy and the pangs of hunger; the Prophet Jeremiah stands in the rubble of the city layered with dead bodies. He lifts his voice in praise to God for His great, unfailing faithfulness to His people.
Lamentations 3:21-23 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Jeremiah survived. God was faithful. He never changes. He was faithful in the beginning and He’ll be faithful in the end. He was faithful in the lives of the Bible characters who placed their faith in Him, and He’ll be faithful in the life of every believer who will trust Him today.
As we face the storms, trials, and valleys of life, we can be sure that God will prove His faithfulness time and again. Great is Thy faithfulness.
