Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
We are on a mini-vacation, and my favorite thing about vacation is hotel housekeeping! What a treat it is to wake up late, leave with your bed unmade and your towels on the floor, and return in the afternoon to a room that has been returned to its previous glory. This beautiful thing happens every day!
As I was thanking the Lord for the hard working ladies that have been blessing me with a freshly-made bed (something I've not seen in the weeks since little Eliana was born!), I was reminded of His mercies--and although walking into a clean hotel room is a wonderful thing, how much more wonderful is walking into a new day that is clean by the mercies of God and the blood of Jesus Christ. The dirty towels and wrinkled sheets of my sinful flesh are continuously cleaned--and this beautiful thing happens every day! Praise God!
If you have not experienced the mercies of God...today is the day of Salvation!
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
