When You Need It…
I am blown away by this truth from Lamentations 3
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
The Lord gives new mercy every morning. Not on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, but every day. “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” More faithful than the sun to rise is this promise that the Lord will give mercy for the day. Hallelujah!
This thought from John Piper has really resonated with me this week…
Our task today is not to have the strength needed for tomorrow’s burdens. Our task today is to live by the mercies given for today, and to believe that there will be new mercies for tomorrow. Today’s mercies do not include strength for tomorrow; they include faith that tomorrow’s unseen mercies will be sufficient for tomorrow. — Piper
Here is the full article from Piper.
I sometimes get so worried about tomorrow – but the Lord says he has given strength for today. Just like manna in the wilderness, he gives us what we need as we need it. Our job is to wait, hope and seek Him.
