The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23).
A day in the life of someone who applauds the Lord as a lifestyle begins and ends, not with my faithfulness, but with confidence in the faithfulness of God.
It means knowing that every day is a new expression of His covenant love, regardless of my performance.
It means knowing He feels what I am feeling, and has new expressions of covenant love and compassion every morning waiting for me to experience.
He is faithful, and His faithfulness is great.
So on this day, to offer Him my Ovation, I begin it with the search for this day’s expression of covenant love, compassion, and faithfulness from the Lord. The beauty of it all (and the sadness of it all) is that He is expressing it, whether I look for it or not. That is the definition of faithfulness.
I invite you to join me. Make today a day to celebrate the faithfulness, compassion, and covenant love of the Lord.
He has not stopped loving you (reminder: this was written by someone who had seen an entire generation devastated by the judgment of God). Yet even Jeremiah could declare that God’s covenant love never ceases.
He has not forgotten what it’s like for you to be you. The fact that He’s compassionate means He feels your joy and my pain, and vice-versa, at the same time.
Let go of the hardness, the doubt, the fear. Let Him love you with today’s fresh expression of His tender goodness. Receive it, and believe in it, even before you see it with your eyes.
Let’s applaud Him together for His steadfast love and tender mercies, knowing that like the manna in the wilderness, there will be even more tomorrow.
