Great Is His Faithfulness!

Key Scripture: Lamentations 3:17–26

Peace has been stripped away, and I have forgotten what prosperity is. I cry out, “My splendor is gone! Everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost!” The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words. I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:

The unfailing love of the Lord never ends! By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”

The Lord is wonderfully good to those who wait for him and seek him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.

Mom’s Reflection

Life was the pits for Jeremiah, the author of Lamentations. Known as “the weeping prophet,” he shed many tears over the destruction of Jerusalem and the demise of his nation. Lamentations is not a happy book; yet in the midst of its sadness and despair, we are able to see the shining light of God’s redemption. As Jeremiah understood, God’s compassion and mercy are ever-present, even when His people are undeserving.

What is causing your grief or heartache? Perhaps your life circumstances seem dismal. Maybe you have experienced the pain of illness or the loss of a loved one. You may grieve over your sin or the poor life choices of one of your family members. Whatever the situation, you can always find a bright ray of hope in the form of God’s great faithfulness and unfailing compassion toward His people. His faithfulness and love are bigger than your grief or pain. Run to His open arms, for He is “wonderfully good to those who wait for him and seek him.”

My Prayer

“Faithful and Holy God, all praise and honor belong to You! I praise You for Your righteousness, Your goodness, and Your mercy. Thank You that I can depend on Your faithfulness and compassion toward me. Thank You that Your mercies are new every morning. Although I grieve over my sin and suffering, I can rejoice in Your love and forgiveness. Help me to reflect Your loving compassion toward my children, my family members, and others. In Jesus’ Name I pray, amen.”

About Women's Ministries: Unlimited

Women's Ministries—Unlimited!
More than you imagined 

Our world is changing rapidly, and so are the needs of women. We as Christians must be relevant to those we want to reach. Women's Ministries—Unlimited! emphasizes the unlimited opportunities open to women for ministry in their local churches and communities. Every woman should be ministered to according to her need, and every born-again woman should be encouraged to find her place of ministry within the body of Christ.

It's more than a label, it's a lifestyle.
Many women today don't have the time or the interest in spending time at "just another meeting." We must reach out to women at the point of their needs. Women's Ministries can do this by offering various Ministry Groups. Living like Jesus and ministering to the needs of others should be a way of life for every Christian. People want to see that the Christ-controlled life makes a difference and gives meaning to their existence. Ministry to women and women ministering should be the lifestyle of Women's Ministries in every church.

Women have special gifts from God, one or more talents that He has blessed them with. Women's Ministries- Unlimited! helps women find their gifts, and then matches them to needs in the churches or communities, and empowers them to serve others with their talents.

It's more than service, it's servanthood.
Too many Christians today believe that service means "serve me." However, true servanthood is motivated by a loving concern for others. No greater example of this servanthood exists than in the life of Jesus Christ. Women can find many channels of opportunity to practice servanthood.

It's more than a program, it's apassion.
We must have passionate hearts to see women discover their God-given gifts and find their place of ministry within the body of Christ. Without passion in our leadership, women will not develop spiritually and their needs will go unmet. It is impossible for a leader to be effective if she isn't passionate about what she is doing.

It's more than a meeting, it's a mission.
The mission of Women's Ministries is to reach women, to disciple them and to help bring wholeness and balance to their lives. By providing an atmosphere for women to strengthen their gifts and by training them to find their places of ministry, women can successfully touch their world for Christ. The most effective way to reach women is at the local church level.

It's more than a project, it's a purpose.
Our purpose is to fulfill God's purpose. Paul wrote to the Galatians, "Through love serve one another." Every born-again woman should have at least one ministry where she is involved in serving others. Through Women's Ministries many opportunities exist where every woman can be motivated to find her place of service. If you are not involved, ask God where He would have you begin.
