For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5b

Everyone has done it—gone to bed with the weight of the world on our shoulders over a sin committed during the day. It’s certainly destined to be a long night if we didn’t settle accounts with God and others quickly (Ephesians 4:26). But even if we confessed our sin to God (1 John 1:9) and received His forgiveness, there is the discouragement factor. No one likes to disappoint a good friend, especially that Good Friend. How could we have been so     (arrogant, foolish, disobedient)? How can we face the Lord Jesus in the morning after failing to be loyal to Him today? Feeling like Peter on the night of his three betrayals of Christ (Matthew 26), we toss and turn through a fitful night of barely-sleep.

With the morning’s light it dawns on us—“The LORD is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails…” (Zephaniah 3:5). All night, God has been true to His promise not to leave us or forsake us and to greet us with unfailing mercy with every new morn.

Never forget: Though we may fail Him, He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13). His mercies never fail. Great is His faithfulness!

Let God’s promises shine on your problems.

 “The heavier the load, the rockier the road.” Don’t go looking for that quote on the Internet or in any of my books since I’ve just thought of it for this article. But it seems to me to express a principle that stands true in the physical world as well as the spiritual—and I hope you’ll take it with you after reading this article. Let me explain what’s behind this little truism.
