Object Lesson

Read Lamentations 3:22–23:

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning.

Hold up the suitcase.Raise your hand if you have ever been on a trip or vacation that you didn’t want to end?

Hold up the soccer ball. Raise your hand if you were ever having so much fun with your friends playing ball outside that you didn’t want the sun to go down.

Hold up the apple. Raise your hand if you ever ate an apple that was so crisp and sweet that you were disappointed when it was all eaten.

There is an old saying that says, “All good things must come to an end.” This is true for natural things—they are temporary. But, it is not true with the things of God.  

Remember that Lamentations 3:22–23 says:

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning.

Isn’t that wonderful to know? Every new day, we can be sure that we can experience God’s unconditional love, faithfulness, and mercy. There will never be a shortage of the things of God. His mercies are new and fresh each morning!
