“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23.

Take a moment and think about the crisp cool air, absence of noise and peaceful environment that you hear in the early hours of the morning as you step outside for a walk or run. You enjoy breathing in the fresh air, the calmness and serene peace that it brings to start your day; all of yesterday’s worries are out of mind and are briefly on hold as you face a new beginning!

Our spiritual life should excite our senses and mind even more; the Lord promises us that His mercies and compassion are ushered in new to us every morning. “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23.

God’s amazing grace gives us a fresh start each day… regardless to what we did or did not do, failed, or succeeded, through physical, mental, spiritual pain or not; His compassions are unfailing and provides hope, peace, and guidance for us in the day ahead.

Peace of mind and heart is a choice. Assumptions of the future are just that…only God knows and holds the future, He is orchestrating the circumstances of all that is around us. whatever trials and tribulations the past may have brought, God’s unfailing compassion and tender mercies provided the strength to persevere and overcome. At this very moment, He has ushered in a new day; and may He help us to see His innumerable blessings as we travel along our way.

Reality is that things do happen, we do not wake up every morning as some would say, cheery eyed and bushy tailed! but praise God, in those times of affliction, unrest or pain; our hope is in the Lord; Romans 5:3-5 state “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

I admonish you to take a few moments and pull out your faith reports this morning, join me in thinking back on all that God has done, and His peace will begin to flood our souls that wherever we are and whatever is happening… we can rest in the assurance and blessings of Romans 8:37 “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”

Today is a new beginning, a wonderful gift from God, it comes with the hope for His innumerable blessings… let us remain steadfast in prayer, focused on the truth and trusting in Him to order our steps in the journey ahead! “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11.

God blessings of hope, faith and love be with us all.
