GREAT IT HIS FAITHFULNESS
Today's reading: Lamentations

"Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day." Lamentations 3:23 NLT

Nothing worse than stale mercy, is there? Day-old grace? Last week's commitment? Old favor?

Every morning. The moment your feet hit the floor. Before the blinds are raised, the coffee's brewed or the teeth are brushed, He has provided us with new mercies! Brand-new mercies. Mercies grand enough, great enough and deep enough to cover all the past, present and future. A gift sitting on the end of our beds. A present just outside our front door. A package wrapped each morning in His Son's sacrifice and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness, oh 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!
