New Mercies Every Morning
This is a beautiful reminder that there are New Mercies Every Morning. Lamentations 3: 22-23 says “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Today might have not been the most pleasant for you (or me).
It might have started off with your teeth on edge (an Oak saying) and ended with a phone call from the principal that isn’t positive. The middle of your day could be splashed with dripping your lunch on your shirt, the dishwasher dying, your cat puking in the floor, or stubbing your toe.
It might be a day when you are struggling so deeply with your mental health and your mind begins to race. The battlefield of the mind is a big thing and you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t struggle.
BUT God.
Lamentations is not one of my favorite books (oops) but the last time I read it, good gracious, chapter 3 walked all over me. It didn’t just walk all over me, plowed my face in the dirt and drug me through it. I have read this book so many times and I dread it every time because I feel that it is a book filled with just whiny people.
Then, when I read it this last time, I realized I was the whiny person and how Jesus is so patient with me because He always listens and He restores and resets my life every morning when I wake up. It is a clean slate. Whatever you were upset about the night before, let it go. LET IT GO. Don’t bring it into a fresh day full of new mercies and grace. Let it go… choose life. Choose to live in grace and freedom. That is our gift from God. Grace, forgiveness, and mercy (amongst other beautiful things).
