Lamentations 3:22-25 (NIV)
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

In the middle of the worst circumstance one could ever face, this is what the prophet (most likely Jeremiah) says. There is always hope with God. Tomorrow is another day with the Lord and it brings a new opportunity for triumph, release and even the circumstances changing.

Verse 24 says; “I say to myself”. I always find it interesting when that happens in scripture. It is as if there needs to be a declaration to oneself to either convince, (because of what the eyes are seeing or the soul is enduring) or it is meant to produce a change of spiritual climate in the area around you. Either way it is what I was talking about on Sunday and here see again as something I should take note of. I must speak to reign, even if it is over my own feelings.
