The Word of Grace Devotion for the Week of October 30, 2017
Great Is His Faithfulness!
Lamentations 3:22-23, “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;23they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Beloved, this week we focus on a beautiful portion of Scripture found in the Book of Lamentations. Lamentations is a book of lament or mourning, though in this Book we also find hope because of the Lord’s faithfulness!
His faithfulness begins with His steadfast (hesed) love. This love is described as steadfast, which is loyal, faithful, committed and dependable. The true character of God’s love for us is that His love never ceases. God ALWAYS loves!
In addition to His unending love is His unending mercy. Time and time again we need the great mercy of God. Mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm. It is God’s unending mercy that allows us to come into His presence day after day receiving His forgiveness for our sinfulness. Great is His mercy!
In addition, if it seems that we have used up God’s mercy, we find out that His mercies are new every morning and never come to an end. Every morning God has a new supply of mercy for His loves ones! Beloved, there will always be enough mercy for you and me!
Finally, because of God’s great love and mercy, his faithfulness is great. God’s faithfulness implies unswerving adherence to us. In other words, we may fall short but God never will. He will always be faithful to offer us His great love and mercy! Our God is rock solid!
Beloved, I pray that you will have a blessed week! I love you and I will be praying for you! If you need a does of God’s love, mercy and faithfulness, remember that they are new every morning!
 
In Christ,
Pastor Joe

We are too busy to see the blessings that surround our lives. We often think that we are full of problems and that we might feel that we are lonely. We should remember that God is our salvation and if we need peace, we can always surrender our burden to Him. The Scripture tells us to cast our burdens upon Him. Life can be tough, but our God is more powerful than any problems and fears that we have. May we continue to stand firm and be faithful!

    Beloved, we are soon to once again celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the human Son of man and the divine Son of God. He is one hundred percent human and one hundred percent God.
     
    While there were many people instrumental in the birth of Christ, this morning we will look at His birth through the eyes of Joseph, His legal father. There is not too much known about the man who would care for Christ as He grew up. We know that Joseph was possibly a carpenter but most importantly we know that he was a righteous man who did the right thing.
     
    When others would have ran away from a responsibility that was not even their own, Joseph stood steadfast and remained faithful to the end. We can learn much from his character and apply his attributes of faithfulness, purity, and perseverance to our own lives.
     
    May you have a Blessed Christmas week and may Christ always be at the center of your lives!
     
    P.S. Come back this evening as we look at the birth of Christ through the Gospel of Luke!
