NEVER LET DOWN

READ:

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.
-Lamentations 3:22-23

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Samuel 19-20
Luke 18:1-23

When I was a child, one of my favourite pastimes was playing on the teeter-totter in the nearby park. A kid would sit on each end of the board and bounce each other up and down. Sometimes the one who was down would stay there and leave his playmate stuck up in the air yelling to be let down. But the cruelest of all tricks was getting off the teeter-totter and running away when your friend was up in the air-he would come crashing down on the ground with a painful bump.
Sometimes we may feel that Jesus does that to us. We trust Him to be there with us through the ups and downs of life. However, when life takes a turn and leaves us with bumps and bruises, it may feel as if He has walked away leaving our lives to come painfully crashing down.
But Lamentations 3 reminds us that "the steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end" (v.22 ESV) and that God is faithful to the end even when everything seems to be falling apart. This means that in the midst of our pain, even though we may feel lonely, we are not alone. And though we may not feel His presence, He is there as our trusted companion who will never walk away and let us down! - Joe Stowell
Thank You, Lord, that we can trust in Your faithful presence even when we feel alone. Help us to wait patiently for You to manifest Your steadfast loving presence.

When everyone else fails, Jesus is your most trusted friend.
