As a shutterbug, I really enjoy the beauty and wonder of a sunrise or a sunset. This is a photo I took of a sunrise. If I had to give a name to this picture it might be, “life is hard, but God is good.” Life is not always a picnic, a vacation, or a time of celebration. Sometimes life is hard and we can’t see much beyond today. But God is good, God is faithful. The writer of Lamentations reminds us that it’s because of God’s great and awesome love for us that we are not consumed. God’s compassion never fails, but is new every morning. Doubt, the anxieties and hardships of life, and even our sins need not consume us. For as surely as the sun rises in the east every morning, so does God’s love and compassion towards us.
