Key Scripture: Lamentations 3:22–23 (KJV)
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Devotional
Some people finish the year feeling proud; others finish feeling tired. Either way, God meets you with the same truth: His mercy is new. Not new because you earned it—new because that is who He is.
Remembering God’s faithfulness is not just recounting blessings; it is recognizing His steady presence in the ordinary and His strength in your weakness. Even on days you didn’t pray well, didn’t feel strong, or didn’t have answers—He remained faithful.
God’s faithfulness is not fragile. It does not break when life is messy. It holds you when your emotions are unstable and your plans don’t work out the way you expected.
Today, let faithfulness be personal again. Not a church phrase—your lived experience. If He was faithful this year, He will be faithful next year.
Scripture Insight
Lamentations was written from grief, yet it declares mercy. Faithfulness isn’t proven by perfect seasons; it’s revealed in hard ones.
Heart Check
Where did you see God’s faithfulness most clearly this year—provision, protection, growth, or comfort? Where do you need to see it again?
