Day 26 of Thankfulness

Day 26 of Thankfulness –

Today I’m thankful that His mercies are NEW every morning.

Lamentations 3:21-23 “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 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.”

Every morning I lay in prayer, mostly thanks-giving, for almost an hour. The anxieties of the night have past and a new day is upon me. It’s probably a little bit of this and a little bit of that which causes my anxieties every night, but I just sit in amazement that when I wake those anxieties are gone and His compassion for me is new.

God knows everything I’m going through, gone through, and going to go through. He has called me by name and has great plans for me. He will never leave me or forsake me and knows the woes of my heart. He is the beginning and the end and everything in between. And in the end I won’t have to have the woes of the night and the replenishing in the morning because there will no longer be night and all will be Light. Great is thy faithfulness!

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not. As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. “Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
