New Every Morning
Mixed media on canvas board 16 X 20
This title is from the Bible in Lamentations 3: 23.
The whole phrase is:
"This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,
Because his compassions fail not,
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:21-23 NKJV
This piece to me is light and airy, like a fresh new morning. The sun is coming up and there's a light breeze, dispelling the last moments of night. Every day is a new day for new attitudes and a renewed hope that things will get better. The writer of this book in the Old Testament was going through a very difficult time, probably harder that anything we are facing today. He encouraged himself and the reader that in God we have hope because he is faithful to be merciful and compassionate.
Thank you for this Jan. We need to have hope that He will help us all get through this.. Maybe there are lessons for all of us to learn.
