It Never Ends!

The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” — Lamentations 3:22-24 (NLT) …I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me. (See Psalms 13:5-6 NLT) “For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.” (Psalms 108:4-5) It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, (Psalms 92:2) Praise the LORD, all you nations.

His faithful love endures forever. (Psalms 118:1) Let all who fear th...

Great is His Faithfulness

Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. — Lamentations 3:22-23 (NKJV) “I will sing of the LORD’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness. Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.” (Psalms 89:1-2 NLT) “Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option. We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 TPT) In Psalms 89:33-34 (NKJV) the LORD said: “…My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow My faithfulness to fail. My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.” May we trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. (See Psalms 37:3 NASB1995)

Have Hope

Image
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The LORD’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” — Lamentations 3:21-24 (NASB1995) In spite of the challenges that come, we can always have hope because the faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great and beyond measure is His faithfulness. And He remains the same forever! His throne continues from generation to generation. (See Lamentations 5:19 NLT) Let us examine and probe our ways, and let us return to the LORD. We lift up our heart and hands toward God in heaven; (Lamentations 3:40-41 NASB1995) O taste and see that Yahweh is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Oh, fear Yahweh, you His saints; For there is no want to those who fear Him. (Psalms 34:8 LSB) “Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be e...

Press On

Image
“Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel! The LORD has brought charges against you, saying: “There is no faithfulness, no kindness, no knowledge of God in your land. You make vows and break them; you kill and steal and commit adultery. There is violence everywhere— one murder after another.” — Hosea 4:1-2 (NLT) In Hosea 4:6, the LORD says: “My people are being destroyed because they don’t know Me.” Oh, that we might know the LORD! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring. (Hosea 6:3 NLT) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:8) When you call upon Him, He will answer. In the midst of hardships and troubles, press on, knowing that Yahweh is with you. He is a good and faithful God. May we be faithful to Him.

Nothing More

Image
Yahweh’s tender mercies have no end, and the kindness of his endless love is never exhausted. New, fresh mercies greet me with every sunrise. So wonderfully great is your faithfulness! I tell my soul, “Yahweh is my abundant portion. I need nothing more. So, I will put all my hope in him.” — Lamentations 3:22-24 (TPT) Yahweh is our Source. He is El Shaddai, the all Sufficient One. In Him, we have all that we need. He is Elohim, the all-powerful Creator of the universe. He is the Everlasting God (El Olam), Who sees you (El Roi). He is a faithful Father and a constant Companion. He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. “His grace is sufficient for us. His lovingkindness and His mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation; for His power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in our weakness.” (See 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 AMP) He is our strong tower and a safe sanctuary. Open your heart and receive His lovingkindness and fresh new mercie...

Pray At All Times

Image
Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, you said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your family, and I will make you prosper.’ “I am so unworthy of all the loving-kindness and faithfulness that you have showered upon me, your servant. When I crossed this river Jordan years ago, all I had to my name was a staff in my hand, and now I have increased to become two camps!” — Genesis 32:9-10 (TPT) Jacob was gripped with fear to the point of panic, when his messengers told him his brother Esau was coming to meet him with 400 men. (See Genesis 32:6-7 TPT) However, he knew to humble himself and turn to God in prayer. At all times we ought to pray and not lose heart. (See Luke 18:1) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalms 46:1 NASB1995) Jacob first reminded God of the words He had spoken to him. When we stand on the Word of God, we are standing on solid ground because God watches over His word to perform it (See Jeremia...

Hope in Him

Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” — Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV) It is because of the lovingkindness of Yahweh that we are not consumed. His tender compassions never fail. We receive fresh new mercies every morning. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our LORD. (1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV) No one can measure His faithfulness. It endures to all generations; (See Psalms 119:90 NKJV) He stands with you when everyone else has abandoned you. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (See Hebrews 13:5 NKJV) Keep your hope in Him. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. — Psalms 89:1 (NKJV)

Live by Faith

Image
“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.” — Habakkuk 2:4 (NLT) Instead of being puffed up with pride, let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and put our confidence in Him. ...as for me, I trust in You, O Yahweh, I say, “You are my God.” (Psalms 31:14 LSB)“Though the fig tree should not blossom and  there be no produce on the vines, though the yield of the olive should fail and the fields yield no food, though the flock should be cut off from the fold and there be no cattle in the stalls, yet I will exult in Yahweh; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18 LSB) No matter how dismal circumstances may appear, always live by faith in the One true and living God. He is our Provider and He is good and generous. He fulfills every word He has spoken.  Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evid...

Be Thankful

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For Yahweh is good; His lovingkindness endures forever and His faithfulness, generation unto generation. — Psalms 100:4-5 (LSB) Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! (Psalms 107:8 NKJV) When we have an attitude of gratitude for all that our heavenly Father has provided, we can't help but give thanks and sing His praises. Instead of looking for what is lacking, count your blessings and be grateful for all that our heavenly Father has so generously provided. Like the Apostle Paul, learn to be content in whatever circumstances you have. (See Philippians 4:11) … in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Messiah Yeshua.. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 TLV) In Jeremiah 31:14 (LSB), Yahweh declares “…My people will be satisfied with My goodness.” It is good to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to Yo...

Cultivate Faithfulness

Image
Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. — Psalm 37:3-4 (NASB1995) Don’t follow after the wicked ones or be jealous of their wealth. Don’t think for a moment they’re better off than you. They and their short-lived success will soon shrivel up and quickly fade away, like grass clippings in the hot sun. (Psalms 37:1-2 TPT) Romans 12:2 (NLT) says, don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world. May we follow YAHWEH and His ways. His way is perfect. The culture of His Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (See Romans 14:17)   When we consistently do what we know is the right thing to do, we are cultivating faithfulness. As we delight ourselves in the goodness of our great and awesome God, our desires will come into alignment with His good plans and purpose for our lives. “When Yahweh delights in how you live your life, he establishes your every ste...

Dare to Hope

(See Lamentations 3:21 NLT) The compassion of Yahweh never fails. His loyal love endures through every storm. When your world is shaken, His lovingkindness stands strong and immovable. It lasts through the fiery furnace experiences, even the floodwaters cannot wash it away. Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; (Hebrews 10:23 AMP) “Adonai is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” — Lamentations 3:24 (TLV)

Trust in Him

Image
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You! — Psalm 84:11-12 (NASB1995) The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. (Psalm 25:8 NLT) Let us follow as He leads. His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations.  (See Psalm 100:5) May we stay committed to YAHWEH and His ways.

Live by Faithfulness

Image
“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God”. — Habakkuk 2:4 (NLT) Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; 
even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! (Habakkuk 3:17-18 NLT) Even when circumstances appear dismal, keep trusting the LORD, our “more than enough” God. He is all we need and His supply is unlimited.

What Are You Eating?

Image
Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness. — Psalm 37:3 (AMP) Feed on the faithfulness of our heavenly Father. Then you will be strong and confident in the LORD, full of peace, love and joy. When we feed on the consistently negative news of this world, anxieties and fears multiply within us. When we continually feast on the desires of our flesh, it eventually leads to emptiness, dissatisfaction and discouragement. Feed your heart, mind and soul with the goodness of our mighty God. He is with us, He loves us and He is forever faithful to take care of His people. Nothing we go through in this world can compare to the glory that awaits us for all eternity. Continue to do good and let God take care of the rest.

Great is His Faithfulness!

Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. — Lamentations 3:23 (NLT) Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Not a single one has failed!” (Joshua 23:14 NLT)  Our mighty God does not change. He still fulfills every promise, He has made. In Isaiah 55:11 (NASB), He says: “ So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. ” Keep your hope and trust in God. He is faithful to deliver you out of all your troubles (See Psalm 34:17)

His faithfulness is perfect and His love never fails. Bow down and worship Elohim, the all-powerful Creator of the universe and all it contains. Yet, He is mindful of us.

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD.

There is no law against these things! — Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT) As we abide in Christ and yield to His Spirit within us, He produces the fruit in our lives. We do not have to attempt to manufacture fruit. Our part is to surrender all and submit to the work of His Spirit in us. Amen! If you are lacking in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness or self-control, draw closer to our heavenly Father. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. — Philippians 1:6 (NASB)
