"Great is Thy Faithfulness"

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for the Lord.'" Lamentations 3:22-24

As we come to the last day of September, this is a good truth to remember. Jeremiah lived during a time when great numbers of Jewish people had died. An invasion came from Babylon, and a distant monarch's army burned Jerusalem. 

In the midst of calamity brought by the sword, hunger, and plague, the weeping prophet was still able to say, "The Lord is my portion". 

This is my prayer for my friends and readers as we conclude the first 75% of this remarkable, memorable year of 2020.

I want to end each month celebrating this thought. "The Lord is my portion."
