“If you are one of God’s children, there is something in your life that will
not wear out. In fact, it has the amazing capacity to be new day after day after
day. Scripture says that God’s mercies are ‘New every morning.’
Now, you know you need mercy, because you know you need forgiveness and help.
Almost every day you mess up in some way. Almost every day you face things that
are bigger than the size of your personal wisdom and strength. You and I
constantly need the mercy of forgiveness and the mercy of enablement. And so, it is very encouraging to
know that God’s mercy is new every day! God’s mercy never grows stale and it
never loses it’s transforming power. God’s mercy is brand new morning after
morning after morning.
This also means that God’s mercy is form-fit for the problems that you are
facing right here, right now. Each morning you are given new mercies for the
particular things that you will face that day.
So, you can wake up tomorrow with courage and hope. And you can do this, not
because of your strength and wisdom, but because you know that the most
important thing you have ever been given will never wear out. You can also have
hope because you know that the God who has given that new mercy, knows exactly
what you are about to face.”
