New Every Morning
“Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed ... great is your faithfulness.”
— Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
Jeremiah writes this in ruins, not in comfort. Yet he sees mercy in the middle of devastation: not consumed. God's faithfulness is measured not by easy days, but by daily mercies that keep us alive and hopeful.
As the month closes, you can focus only on what was unfinished. This verse teaches another lens: where did mercy carry you? Gratitude grows when you name God's faithfulness in specific moments, not generic language.
