Because of
the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They
are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
—Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV)
The
weather forecasters started predicting the snowstorm early last week. Each day
brought a different story—how cold it would get, how much snow we might see,
when it would finally arrive. On Thursday, temperatures were still in the 50s,
yet everyone was preparing for the worst. Groceries were stocked, plans were
adjusted, and caution was already setting in. I even worked from home on
Friday, not because the storm had arrived, but because I didn’t want to be
caught on dangerous roads once it did.
It was a lot of waiting… and a lot of uncertainty.
One of the hardest parts of living in the middle of a storm is the waiting. The forecast keeps changing. The timeline stretches. What we hoped would pass quickly lingers longer than expected.
Lamentations was written in the middle of deep grief and loss—not after everything was fixed, but while things were still broken. And yet, right there in the middle of sorrow, these words rise up: We are not consumed.
That doesn’t mean we aren’t tired. It doesn’t mean the situation isn’t heavy. It means that somehow—by God’s mercy—we are still standing. Still breathing. Still held.
God’s faithfulness doesn’t always show up as immediate relief. Sometimes it shows up as quiet strength for one more day. Sometimes it looks like enough grace to get through this morning… and then fresh mercy when tomorrow comes.
If you’re waiting today—waiting for answers, healing, resolution, or peace—remember this: the same God who carried you yesterday is already holding what you’ll need for tomorrow. You are not forgotten in the waiting. You are being sustained.
