Perceiving God and His Word

The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3: 22,23

"If you are not perceiving God and His Word properly, you will lose your hope. In Lamentations 3:1-6, Jeremiah expresses despair because he wrongly perceives God, and in verses 7-11, 18 he vents fear. But as soon as he recalls God's lovingkindness (verse 22), his attitude changes. His circumstances do not change, but his perceptions are corrected, and therefore he has hope."

Neil T. Anderson, Freedom in Christ.
