Lamentations 3:22-24- “The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. ²³ They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. ²⁴ “Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I wait for Him.”

In Lamentations 3:22-24, read words that make my heart leap for joy as I am reminded that God’s love and mercy NEVER ends!   The compassion of God is without measure.  His love, mercy, and compassion are new every morning because He is faithful, and He is our portion.  We see the prophet’s broken heart in Lamentations 3:49 –“My eyes pour down unceasingly without stopping.”  Then he set a time on it – “Until Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees.”  The idea was that if God sees, He will.

1 Corinthians 3:21-23 contains an indispensable catalyst for right thinking, producing right living.

“…For ALL THINGS belong to you.” (v.21). He repeated it at the end of v.22. In v.23 -, “and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.”

We worry and fret over stuff.  We see our troubles, needs, lacks, powerlessness, and inadequacy, but we are reminded in this passage that Everything Belongs to Us! 

With every Promise, there is a Problem:

The problem is that we do not always believe it.  We believe it theoretically, but it is not who we are.   It is true that we profess because it is in the Bible, but we do not see it as ours experientially.  We do not see ourselves as worthy or spiritual enough.  Satan steals our hope and faith, and we relegate that truth to the super saints or to be enjoyed in eternity rather than now.

If it is true, that All Things belong to us because we belong to Christ and He belongs to God – Why Do We Struggle with The Promise?

It is vitally necessary that we have our minds reprogrammed.  The only way to do that is to guard our lips. Protect our eyes and ears (what we watch & listen to).  Be careful how and what you allow to come into your consciousness.

We have to change how we talk.  We must train ourselves to say what God says, not what we see or hear from the devil, others, or circumstances.   Say what God says.  We agree with God.  The reality is that whatever we agree with, we give power to.

The Bible says that Abraham believed in hope!  Not that he believed in the activity of hope, but that he believed with hope!  He hoped in what he believed.  It was hopeless & and impossible, But God Said, and he chose to agree with God.

Let me challenge you today to decide that no more defeatist words or thoughts will come out of your mouth!  Determine that if God said it, no matter what you see, you will agree with God even to death.  Nothing will shake you from your confidence in Him.

This is a new day of victory; rejoice!  May the Lord richly bless you today!
