The faithful love of the LORD never ends!
His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh
each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23
This
is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24.
As this new day begins remember that it is the Lord’s Day…just as every day IS
the LORD’S Day. Even greater observation is for us to remember is that God’s
love never ends. NEVER. Sometime we may feel like God doesn’t hear us or allows
rotten things to happen to us…slick roads or sidewalks, falls, colds and
illnesses, broken dishes, broken hearts, but all in all, God is merciful and
faithful to His promises. He loves us so much that He gave the ultimate gift—the
life of His very own son. We have life so good. We have enough food on hand to
last probably a month—while people even here in the Tri-Cities are starving…and
freezing cold. Yet we wake up and sit around in our cozy warm home looking out
the windows at fresh snow complaining that we will have to drive to the gym on
slick roads. Hmmm. God’s mercy—compassion, kindness, forgiveness, blessing—is new
every morning. New mercy every morning means that He starts with a fresh slate
every day. He doesn’t focus and recall the sin of yesterday. Additionally, He
has provided and taken care of us so well. Be thankful.
Prayer
~ Lord, Thank You for Your mercy—undeserved as it is. I treasure and appreciate
all that You have done and provided for me, my family, friends and neighbors.
Please continue in Your faithfulness to us. May Your mercies never cease.
Friday’s
Feast at the King’s Table
This is the time of the year when good
chocolates and wonderful candies abound. One of my brother’s favorite is
chocolate covered cherries. So—celebrate this holiday remembering it is what is
inside that counts. We only see the outside—until we bite into the cordial.
Then like the Lord, we see what is inside, too. Sweet and juicy. Tasty. What does
God see inside of you? Sweetness? Enjoy the sweets of the season…and after the
holiday focus on the fact that our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit—of God
Himself. Merry Christmas, Barry & Evelyn—and everyone who enjoys Chocolate
Covered Cherries. This one is for you.
