Lamentations 3:22-23
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His mercies (compassions) never fail. They are new every morning; Great is your faithfulness!
Thoughts:
This is a promise we can bank on! God's mercies are new each day because He gives enough for that day. I can definitely think of several times in the past week where I've fallen short. We can be short with our spouses, impatient with our kids, quick to get frustrated with others or whatever it may be at the moment, but God offers us what we need. We must depend on His mercies day-by-day-- just like the manna in the wilderness was given one day at a time.
Challenge:
Am I allowing sin to hinder me in any way?
Am I forgetting or acknowledging that God’s mercies are shown to me each day?
Prayer:
Father,
We thank you for your perfect love. We ask that you would help us in our times
of frustration and impatience- that you would fill us up with what we need because on our own, we will fail. Help us to live in Your forgiveness and grace and to extend it to others we encounter each day!
