I don't know why they call it the news. They should call it bad news. The barrage of bad news seems never ending. People can only take so much. We all could use some good news.
As a matter of fact there is. Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)
22
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every
morning; great is your faithfulness.
Think about it. The steadfast love of the LORD. No matter the circumstances of life See Romans 8:38-39. God's love remains steady. No matter how vile our sin, that cannot separate us from His love. His love is good, kind and merciful. It does not end. It is not exhausted. It does not fail. He is as near as your next breath and prayer. He loves you just as much today as He ever has. What a great good news truth. You are loved. By the King. You are loved with the deepest of affections.
His mercies have no end either. To put that another way, His compassions and pity are never exhausted. Reflect on that for a moment. Our compassion can be taxed by difficult people. Even when we are difficult His tender compassionate mercy never runs out. In fact, they are new every morning. Whether you are an early riser or a night owl. When your eyes popped open today they opened to His mercies. As you go through your day, you do so with His ample supply of compassion following you. More great news.
Whether you live to be 22 or 102 His love and mercy will always be there. Though the world goes crazy, His love and mercy will be sure foundations to steady your footing. When others panic into hysteria, His love and mercy will bring you great peace.
That is not only good news for today. It is Great news for EVERYDAY!
