I was at the street festival a few years ago. You don’t have to work hard to spend all kinds of money there. The artisans that gather are pretty impressive. My husband and I often go with our granddaughters. The youngest was about 7 years old at the time. Her parents had opened a bank account and would put a weekly allowance into it as she did her chores each week. Well, she came with her wallet and debit card and let me just say, this young lady likes to shop. It took her about an hour to empty her bank account. She somehow had the impression this card would never run out. She found out the hard way this card that seemed almost magic to her, definitely had its limits.

Do you know one thing that does not run out? God’s mercy, His love, His compassion. They are new every single morning and there is not a limit. Lamentations 3:22-23 remind us ‘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.”

In one of my favourite commentaries, called Enduring Word by David Guzik wrote;

“Every morning ends the night.

Every morning brings a new day.

Every morning brings new provisions.

Every morning brings new forgiveness for new sins.

Every morning brings new strength for new temptations, duties and trials.”

Every morning when we rise, we are not only greeted by the beauty of these truths, but

God’s unfailing love for us. He did not grow tired of us in the night. He loves us and

waits once again, to sit with us as we read His word, and be taught by Him. He is ready

to receive our burdens that we will lay at his feet anew today. If this is not enough good

news, He is faithful. That does not change with God!

Dear Father,

Thank You for Your mercies that are new every morning. Thank You that You wait for me and have for me, all that is needed today. Lead me through today, Father. I need You always.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
