Breakdown

One frustrating fact of life is that everything breaks down. 

The book of Lamentations in the Bible is basically a very sad song about destruction and judgment. But even there we find a relentless hope! Chapter 3, starting in verse 21 tells us:

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, 

for his compassions never fail. 

They are new every morning; 

great is your faithfulness. 

It is true that everything in creation breaks down. And because of that, you most likely have some fear and pain in your life today. But that is not the whole story!

It is also true that God is faithful, that His plan for everybody is good, and that He never breaks down. Other things are always going to keep breaking down. But if you are slogging through the breakdowns of life with no hope and nowhere to turn, you don't have to do that anymore. You can trust God to do right and be right, and to care about you every day of your life.
