They are new every morning #thefathersword

Lamentations 3:22-23
'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'

Mercy. What is Mercy?

The dictionary describes it as an act of kindness, compassion or favour. It also describes it as compassionate or kindly forbearance shown towards an offender, an enemy, or another person in one's power; compassion, pity or benevolence.

Did you know that in heaven, you have a heavenly account? Now, let me explain this in modern day terms.
Each of you has a bank account and in order for you to withdraw money, you need to have money in there. In order to transact money, you need to deposit money in there. If however, you have nothing in your account, you can't take anything out.
I wonder, what would it be like to have an account where each morning there is always money available. What would it be like if there was an overflow in your account every day?

You see, every day in our lives we strive to be like God, because he is perfect and we desire to strive to be perfect ourselves. During any one day, you can come across situations that will come to test you and may require you to draw on the mercy of God so you can get through the day. But what would happen if every day you have the same amount of mercy you had from the day before, life would be peak each and every day.

I am very grateful that God's mercies are new every morning. God is very compassionate, not one day will he fail to not show compassion to someone.

So back to the heavenly account. Just as we have an earthly account, we also have a heavenly account and in that account, there is plenty for us to withdraw from. I would imagine that you have love, peace, joy, faith and mercy. At the end of every day, it's like God saying to you - "Go to sleep, wake up and start again, fresh and on point"
In other words, God makes a transaction, everything we did or didn't do, he wipes it away and replaces it with new mercy. What a mighty God we serve.

We as human beings, we don't generally qualify for mercy. Ever since Adam sinned, we then were born into sin but God has different ideas. Despite our sin nature, he showed us mercy and came to save us. You think you didn't deserve it but God is merciful is full of compassion and for him to go against that, it would be detrimental to everything that he is.
We probably would have been consumed if it wasn't for the Lord's mercies.

1 John 4:8 - 'He that loveth not knoweth God; for God is love'

God is love and within that love, he is full of compassion and he is full of mercy. His mercies are new every morning.
