Bible in a Year :
His compassions never fail. They are new every morning.
For three years, apart from household necessities, Susan didn’t buy anything for herself. The Covid-19 pandemic affected my friend’s income, and she embraced a simple lifestyle. “One day, while cleaning my apartment, I noticed how shabby and faded my things looked,” she shared. “That’s when I started to miss having new things—the sense of freshness and excitement. My surroundings seemed tired and stale. I felt as if there was nothing to look forward to.”
Susan found encouragement in an unlikely book in the Bible. Written by Jeremiah after Jerusalem fell to Babylon, Lamentations describes the open wound of grief suffered by the prophet and the people. In the midst of grief’s despair, however, lies sure ground for hope─God’s love. "His compassions never fail,” Jeremiah wrote. “They are new every morning” (3:22-23).
Susan was reminded that God’s deep love relentlessly breaks through anew each day. When circumstances make us feel there’s no longer anything to look forward to, we can call to mind His faithfulness and look forward to how He’ll provide for us. We can confidently hope in God, knowing our hoping is never in vain (vv. 24-25) because it’s secured in His steadfast love and compassion.
“God’s love is my ‘something new’ each day,” Susan says. “I can look ahead with hope.”
Reflect & Pray
When have you felt unable to see any hope in your situation? How does the promise of God’s love as “new every morning” give you hope?
Thank You, dear God, because each day brings with it Your certain, steadfast love.
Deal head-on with pain and pressure in this study.
Yesterday at Wichita Ridge:
Gizmo also enjoyed his visit at the vet yesterday. He got his monthly heart worm pill and a new bottle of zinc tablets. He also got his quarterly flea and tick pill.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Good afternoon everyone
The Pacific: Chesty Puller full speech

From the comments below the video:
“Chesty was much beloved and respected by Marines because he did the one thing that most commanders don’t do. He treated them like men.”
“One of my best friends, Hop Birdsong, fought with Chesty in the 1st Marines Division at Guadalcanal. He said he was one of the first Marines to hit the beach and was proud to talk about it. Thank you.”
“Where we’ll meet them and conquer them? Where we’ll meet them and be victorious? Where we’ll meet them and overcome? Nope. “Where we’ll meet them and kill them all.” Go, Chesty!”
