Day 239 - A Great Encouragement

Reading through Lamentations you may not think that there is great encouragement, but that’s not the case. Some of the sweetest verses in all of Scripture are nestled inside this little book, and are probably familiar to most of you. They are worth repeating. And they are worth meditating upon.

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.

24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will hope in him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,

to the soul who seeks him.

26 It is good that one should wait quietly

for the salvation of the Lord. (3:22–26 ESV)
