Every morning is new, songs of joy come from you!
“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)
I love this verse. If the truth is told, I deserve to be “consumed” by the fires of hell. It’s not because I have no guilt that God spares me, it’s because of the LORD’S mercies! It’s not because I “fail not” that I receive His love, it’s because HIS compassions never fail. But the best part is that they are new “every morning”. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone to bed thinking, “Oh Lord, what have I done? I’m so sorry…” only to awake and think of this verse and remember that it’s all washed away by His mercy and compassion. The blood of Jesus never fails. What He did on the cross for us cannot be undone. If only the whole world could grasp the love and kindness of God, “that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” What guilt could be taken away! How different the world would be if everyone understood His love!
