HOPE TO CONTINUE ON

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:
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. 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 hope - they 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" (Psalm 30:5).
Thank You, Lord, for the hope You send with each sunrise. Your mercies and compassions are new every morning! - Anne Cetas
New mercies every morning,
Grace for every day,
New hope for every trial,
And courage all the way. - McVeigh

Each new day gives us new reasons to praise the Lord.
