Thoughts for the day, August 4, 2020

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:6-7).

Yesterday, someone in one of our text groups wrote, “ I am a work in progress with worrying and anxiety” Within no time, many of us responded to her message by agreeing “we are all a work in progress.” How incredible is it that our God never gives up on us and that His love never ceases—His mercies never come to an end. God forgives and redeems, He does not define us by our past, He is bigger than our battles, His power is made perfect in our weakness, and He covers us with His care! 

     Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
     for his mercies never come to an end,
    They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness (Lamentations 3: 22-23).
