In the midst of very difficult circumstances, Jeremiah writes,

Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall!
My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him.”

Since the neverending steadfast mercies of the Lord have been secured beyond dispute through the resurrection of the Lord and its continuing echo in the many circumstances of our own lives, come and let us worship together with rejoicing as those who have been carried through another week by the steadfast mercy of the Lord in Jesus Christ!
