New mercy

In the book of the Bible called Lamentations, there is a verse that promises those who believe new mercy for every new day. Lamentations 3:22-23 says


22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

I like the way another translation
renders verse 23. It says "Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day."

Every day comes with its own supply of mercies from God and whether you use it or not, a day's supply of mercy ends with the day and a fresh supply of mercy rises with the next day's sun. You'll never run out of mercy from God as long as you live!

Mercy is what you need when you've messed up and you deserve to be slammed. Mercy is what picks you up from your low point when no one wants to touch you with a mile-long pole. Mercy is what puts a smile in your heart and on your face when, looking at your circumstances, you shouldn't be smiling. Mercy takes you further and faster than you can go on your own. Today, I recommend that you make use of God's mercy that has begun for you the moment you got up from bed this morning. Simply say "God, I receive your mercy that you sent specifically for me today".

Be blessed!
