Lam 3:19-25  Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.  (20)  My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.  (21)  This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.  (22)  It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  (23)  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.  (24)  The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.  (25)  The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

Bible verses combined with a hymn can change the sadness of my heart in just a few moments. It is a wonderful combination of reading and worship. Top it off with a breath of fresh air in the morning sunlight and I have a remedy that fulfills today’s Scripture verses!!!

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

This is what is needed in the hustle bustle of a busy world. When I was a busy working wife and mother, I did my morning devotions but they were “timed.” Now that I am retired, I have all the time I want to sit in wonder over God’s Word. Today’s Bible verses bring great wonder to me. How can the God of creation, the God of order, desire fellowship with me! Who am I to deserve such a time with Him?

Psa 139:14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Father, You created me and fashioned me. I am exactly what You desired as you formed me. May I seek Your face and live my life in honour of You. Your daily mercies and compassions keep me going as I walk the deepest valleys. I feel Your arm around me as I lean into You. May I bring You joy in my daily walk! Praise Your Holy Name, my Father, my Abba!
