Lamentations 3:31-32
31 For the Lord will not cast off forever, 32 but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
How long will this last? That’s the question many of us find ourselves asking. Things are bad now, and scary, but a lot of the fear comes with questions of timing. I have enough food, for now. I can work with my kids home from school too, for a little bit. Or for some of us, I can go without pay for just a little bit, but how long?
These verses remind of us of a couple of hard truths that we can rely on in this time. God has allowed the hard things in this world, but they won’t last forever. His justice is not His only trait. He also loves with a love that doesn’t move, doesn’t leave, and never gives up. This situation may last for a long time, but it won’t last forever. Do you know His love?
