What is one constant thing
that happens every morning? The sun
rises. No matter what happened the day before,
one thing you can bet the farm on – the sun will rise in the morning. And with it will come a brand new day with
hopes, dreams, challenges, and opportunities.
Do you know what else
happens every morning? It’s just as sure
to happen as the sun rising. Can you
guess?
The answer is in
Lamentations 3:22-23 where God says “The
steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an
end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Do you see it? Every morning, we receive a new supply of
God’s mercy, regardless of how much of God’s mercy we used up the previous day.
I love Webster’s definition
of mercy. It reads – “Compassion or
forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or
harm.”
Every morning, you and I get
a fresh supply of God’s compassion and forgiveness no matter how badly we
messed up the day before. God wipes the
slate clean – every morning.
It’s like Christmas 365 days
a year. God’s mercy is a gift we get to unwrap every morning.
Mediate on this truth the
next time you roll out of bed in the morning.
It will cause your heart to well up with love and gratitude towards your
heavenly Father and motivate you to live a life pleasing to Him.
