AMIDST ADVERSITY, GOD’S MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING.

Lamentations 3:1-66,
In this chapter Jeremiah weeps as he sees the rubble of the once glorious city that men called the perfection of beauty. He sunk to an incredible low because the people had turned against him and even threatened that they would kill him. Now it seems that even God has turned against him, vs. 1-20. Looking around, it is totally hopeless. Amidst adversity, we can HOPE AGAIN. We can put on a new set of thoughts into our minds. We can cease thinking about “I, Me and Myself” and start thinking about God. The new mind-set says “It is because of the Lord's mercies that I am not consumed.” If God had given to us what we deserved, we wouldn't even be here. It is only by God's mercies that any of us are alive today. God never ceases to love us.
"Great is Thy faithfulness." God is faithful to warn of what He would do. God is faithful to do what He warns. But more, God is faithful to love and show mercy.
As a result of our sin: panic, pitfalls, devastation, destruction, fear, depression, anxiety, affliction, rejection, pain, disease, sickness, heartbrokenness, and desolation may fall on us. Bad as things are, it is owing to the mercy of God that they are not worse. God's compassions fail not; of this we have fresh instances every morning. We can humbly turn to Him in repentance. The cure for depression and difficult moments is in looking up, being hopeful and putting on a new mind-set; “22 But this I call to mind, therefore I have hope. 23It is because of the Lord’s loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail. 24They are new every morning; great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. 25The Lord is my portion and my inheritance says my soul; therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him. 26The Lord is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him, to those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word]. It is good that one waits quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” We can be sure “31The Lord will not cast us off forever. 30He is with us in our afflictions. 55-57When we call out His name in the lowest pit, He will hear our voices and He will draw near to us.”
I can hope again amidst adversity because God’s mercies are new every morning. His compassion fails not.

Regards,

Through the Unknown Trails and Treacherous Places, I have a Guide-God's Presence

Joshua 3:1-4, Joshua and the Israelites had set out from Shittim and camped at the banks of River Jordan for 3 days then the officers went throughout the camp giving orders to the people: “3 When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before….”
As we prepare to take another long trail in 2017, there will be bends, sheer cliffs, new discoveries, adventure, mountain vistas, and treacherous places too. It’s a little frightening, knowing you’ve never been this way before. But, a quick glance ahead reveals your Guide, God’s presence. God is the Way and He knows the way; He knows every cliff and bend; the treacherous places and He has made the necessary provisions, so trust Him to guide you. As you walk with Him through the trail, He will even teach you His wonders.
Dear Friend, as you face the New Year in few days’ time, to be precise in 26 days; the trail before you is masked in unknown. But don’t be afraid, Jesus will be there with you-Protecting, Encouraging, Guiding, Providing, and Being there for and with you.

Regards,
Kachel

#Storms_May_Be_Raging_But_I_Can_Hope_Again

Hi guyz.
I know many of us here can identify with Paul in Acts 27:13-26.
2016 has been a good year with a mix of tears of joy and tears of pain for me. There were times I felt like I had it all working for me; I felt like I had all I wanted; a favorable and gentle wind blew my way and I set sail just to be battered by a hurricane shortly. So, I'd tell myself, girl, you gotta push, u've to make efforts to survive; you've to be in control; you've to keep your head up high and smile but the storm kept pushing me into the deep seas. Seemingly, neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, finally I lost all hope! Just then God spoke "KEEP YOU COURAGE. YOU CAN HOPE AGAIN."
Am sure some of us have been there, you felt like you had all you wanted but suddenly a storm begun battering you right left and center and probably you (have) lost all hope. I am here to encourage you, YOU CAN HOPE AGAIN. Keep your courage because God is saying to someone here that "The hurricane won't destroy you. You have a mission to accomplish."
Listen, as long as God has a purpose for your life and you are walking in OBEDIENCE and FAITH, following the leading of the Holy Spirit; though storms will come raging; though you may seem to loose all hope, God will protect you and will restore your courage and YOU CAN HOPE AGAIN. You can face life dangers and storms with courage, hope and assurance in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 16:1-2, nothing in this world is good if the Lord's presence and blessing are absent.
Baraka,
