GOD'S COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT

TOPIC:  GOD'S COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT 

MEMORIZE: “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.” Lamentation 2:22

SCRIPTURE READING: Lamentation 2:21-24

“This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.”

EXPOSITION:

The compassion of God never fails, even in the depth of the affliction of His people, they still have experience of the tenderness of the divine pity and the truth of the divine promise. Though they had several times complained that God had not pitied them as claimed in Lamentation 2:17,21 “And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.”, But in verse 22-23, they correct themselves, and declare, 

1. THAT GOD'S COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT; they do not really fail, no, not even when in anger he seems to have shut up his tender mercies. These rivers of mercy run fully and constantly, but never run dry. No. The secret of NEVER-RUN-DRY fountain of His mercy is that they are new every morning; every morning we have fresh instances of God's compassion towards us; he visits us with them every morning (Job 7:18 “And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?”); every morning does he bring his judgment to light, Zephaniah 3:5 “The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.”. When our comforts fail, yet God's compassions do not. 

2. THAT GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS. Though the covenant seemed to be broken, they owned that it still continued in full force; and, though Jerusalem be in ruins, the truth of the Lord endures forever. Note, Whatever hard things we suffer, we must never entertain any hard thoughts of God, but must still be ready to own that he is both kind and faithful. 

PRAYER POINT: Lord, open my eyes of faith to see your faithfulness and glory at work in my life and family in Jesus name.
