New Mercies Every Morning

Lamentations 3: 22-24

22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;  Great is Your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

Every morning that I wake up, it is a new day. It is a day that I was not promised but the mercy of God allowed me to wake up and get up out of my bed.  The problems or the issues from the previous day may remain but I was not consumed in them or by them.  God had mercy on me and gave me the miracle of a new day. 

Jeremiah saw a ray of hope regardless of all the sin that surrounded him.  He knew that God's compassion did not fail.  It is said that "compassion is love in action" (Life Application Bible, NKJV) God's love for us looks beyond our sins, failures, and inabilities.  He loves us more than we could ever imagine.  He will help us and have compassion on us.  He promises to forgive us of our sins as we repent and ask for forgiveness. 

God is so faithful to respond and forgive.  He is true to His Word.  Each day is full of "millions of miracle".  Waking up, miracle.  Being able to get out of bed and care for myself, miracle.  Breathing, miracle... You get it, our every day is filled with so many miracles.  God is so loving and faithful.  Even in the trouble, trials, cloudy days, God is still with us and faithful.  

Webster says that faithful means remaining loyal and steadfast; true to facts or the original. "The original Hebrew word (hesed) translated as "steadfast love," is a very important Old Testament term that speaks of the faithful, loyal, constant goodness and love that God shows to his people. This is the Lord's covenantal love, describing God’s act of loving his people. The Lord has an inexhaustible supply of love for his children." (Learn Religions - https://www.learnreligions.com)

Jeremiah could hope in God because he knew that His love and faithfulness was sure.  We too can trust that God's Word is true and He will be with us.  He will help us because He loves us and shows us new mercies daily.  He is with us and for us.  We can rest assure that He knows where we are and what we are going through.  He is working it all for our good.  It may not feel good, but it is working for our good. 

Be encouraged, God is not unaware of your situation or circumstances.  Take it to Him in prayer and trust that He is faithful and compassionate.  Thank Him for all the millions of miracles and mercies that you can think of daily.  He is a Wonderful God and an Awesome Father.  

Be blessed.
