Lamentations 3:22-23 It is of the LORD‘S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
One of the most beloved hymns that the church sings today came from a phrase that was written in one of the most darkest times of Bible history. Jeremiah the prophet sits in the ashes of the greatest city devistated by God's Judgment through the Babylonians. The book called Lametations is compulation of five laments. Just as Hallelujah, is the highest vocal expression of joy, lament is flip of the coin opposite expression of grief.
Yet, in the midst of all of this Jeremiah still proclaims the mercies, compassions and faithfulness of God. Who would figure that times as those could possibly expose those attributes of God. The Christian can be confident that even in the most desparate of times and situations God is there with His mercies, compassions and faithfulness.
So when co-workers are cruel, the boss is demanding, and the paycheck is wanting, Great is God's faithfulness. When family is hurting, church seems unfulfilling, Great is God's faithfulness. Great is God's faithfulness in the great tumalt
