Lamentations 3:21-27
English Standard Version (ESV)
During an eclipse, the sun does not cease to shine -- it is merely obscured by some other planetary object, and while we could opt to despair in those moments when darkness reigns, we instead rely on the knowledge that it is a passing moment.
In the same vein, the suffering and sin in the world does not prevent the Lord's love from continuing. It may obscure the steadfast love of God, but the darkness does not shut out the light. The mercies of the Lord are new this morning -- and God is faithful still. For those who cling to hope, they will be rewarded by the faithfulness of God. Those who choose despair will be surprised to discover that God's love will conquer darkness and continue to reign.
The steadfast love of the Lord does not cease. Great is God's faithfulness!
