Lamentations 3:22-24 ~ “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. [22] It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. [23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. [24] The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.”
God’s Mercies are new every morning and each day has enough Mercy in it for that day! Today, remember that God’s mercies never fail! The Lord is your portion today, all you have to do is put all of your hope in Him! Today, think about your life, has God shown you mercy? Do you remember His promises? Please don’t take God and His Grace and Mercy for granted! Have you shown mercy to anybody? Are do you just want to punish them? Where is your compassion?
When God dealt with His sinful people, He exhibited His love and compassion for them. The word Mercy conveys God’s unconditional love for His covenant people and Jeremiah experienced this firsthand through a personal encounter about God’s faithfulness to His people. Because most times punishment usually follows disobedience, but God, He promised restoration and blessing, and Jeremiah knew that God would keep His promises. Because God is faithful day by day, you can be confident that He will come through in His great promises for your future.
I have a question for you to ponder, how often have you sinned, disobeyed God, forgot about His Word and went your own way? And yet, in spite of you, in spite of this, God still showed His Mercy towards you, He didn’t give you what you deserved, He had Mercy on you! Now, it’s your turn to have mercy on someone, yes, they failed, and fell short, but so did you, for the Word of God says, “all have come short”, (Romans 3:23) but God still kept you, He sustained, protected, and blessed you!
Your hope can be sustained by recalling to your remembrance God’s loyalty and love and His deep compassion towards you. Always remember that God loves you in spite of you, and you can depend on Him at all times! Put and keep your trust in the only One that can give Grace and Mercy! Today, and every day you need to Praise Him and Thank Him for His Mercy, after all His Mercy endures forever and ever. Trust Him, surrender your life to Him and commit your life to a lifetime of serving Him, it’s for your good and His Glory!
Let’s Pray:
Father, search my mind and heart, and remove everything that is not like You. I repent right now for every time I took Your Mercy for granted. Thank You for Your Grace and Mercy and for forgiving me of all my sins. Lord, give me the gift of mercy for others. I choose to commit my life to serving You. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
Blessings…
