God's Steadfast Love


 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases.
His mercies never come to an end.
They are new every morning.
Great is your faithfulness, O LORD.
Lamentations 3:22-23

Most have heard these words: "God is love." But what does this love look like? The "crying prophet" let's us in on this. He is clear that God's love is steadfast. In other words, it is dependable, and it can definitely be relied on no matter how we feel emotionally. For God's covenant people, this love comes because of HIS mercy or because HE is NOT going to give us what we deserve. And this love is fresh. It never ceases.  God's love is like a never-ending flowing river. It never comes to an end. "It is new every single morning. And I might add, it is new every single night and any time in between. 

How do I know this is true? I know it because I have experienced it. I know it because, "the Bible tells me so."  The main reason I know all this to be true is because God is faithful.  Or as Jeremiah, the crying prophet says, "Great is your faithfulness O Lord."  I have heard people say, "God said it, I believe it, and that settles it."  WRONG! God said it. That settles it. I had best believe it because God is the decider, and I am not. God is always faithful.

Now Jeremiah had to prophesy some fairly tough "thus saith the LORD" messages;' however, even though he literally lamented these judgments to these people because of their wickedness, he fully believed God loved them. I know Jeremiah knew God loved him, and so he declared what his soul was speaking to him.  Check this out:

"The LORD is my portion," says my soul.
"Therefore, I will hope in him."
The Lord is good to those who wait for him.

So, no matter what you are going through, what are you going to do with this good news? Will you bow your knees and confess that Jesus is Lord of your life? Will you turn all your sin, struggles, brokenness and struggles over to HIM?  I hope you do because Great is God's faithfulness unto you.  Why not let HIM show you?

God Bless You,

R.E.S.T: Vote With A Godly Conscience

Rock-solid Eternal Spirituality Today     Absolutely R.E.S.T.s on How We Vote : SAVE OUR REPUBLIC The Christ-Follower – Patriot and Defender of The Constitution Over a period of four decades, I wore the uniform of The United States Air Force! I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve, for unashamedly saying that I am a patriot – and more importantly – a Christ Follower. And I have found it gratifying that I decided to #WalkAway from the Democratic Party, as well as the Republican party. I was both, but since I decided to follow Jesus decades ago, in time, it became clear to me that, sometimes, being loyal to a political party left me in a place that I don’t believe my Lord Jesus would have me be; therefore, I turned away from them to be sure my loyalties didn’t resemble an idolatrous relationship with a political party: I am happily an Independent . As a Christ following Patriot, I firmly believe that we were endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, and...

Strength For The Broken Heart and Weary Soul

  One of the deadliest, and life-threatening diseases, is heart disease, and journeying through life with this debilitating morbidity is an overwhelming thing to be sure. That is unless you have the Lord God Almighty walking with you every step of your journey; additionally, you can become overwhelmed, not necessarily by this particular disorder, but you can really be dealing with overwhelming trauma, that simply drags you down to the valley of the shadow. Perhaps, it can best be said like this: You are going along in life, and BAM! Life comes at you in ways you were not anticipating. Whatever the circumstances, the situation is heart breaking, and your soul is simply weary. Then, all of the sudden, you feel like everything in you is giving out. Your body aches, fatigue sets in, and your mind is overwhelmed with worry. It feels like your spirit is crushed by disappointment, and you feel utterly depleted. Well, the writer of Psalm 73:26, seems to have experienced all the above and m...

God Is My Portion. HE is MORE Than Enough for Your Stuff

Pork Chops & God: When I was a child, I remember every one of us sitting around the kitchen table. Mom and Dad were sitting at either end of the table, and if I remember correctly, the three boys sat on one side, and the girls sat on the other side. I remember reading a comic strip called " Little Abner. "  He actually was a big muscular guy wearing overalls. And I remember he was sitting at a table, all by himself, with a stack of pork chops on a plate. He had all the pork chops to himself. I actually imagined what it would be like having those pork chops to myself. Some Time Later: It wasn't long until I had my own pork chop experience: One particular day, we had pork chops, with the vegetable's fixings, and we had some really good southern sweet tea. Right in front of me - sitting on that table - was a big ole stack of pork chops. I counted eight of them. And I was hungry; however, by the time all eight of us had our portion, we got 1 pork chop a piece. It was ...
