Lam 3:22 “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end….”
This morning has me filled with a vague, negative emotion that I’m hard-pressed to identify. There’s nothing really I can put my finger on. I just feel like yesterday’s nonsense is creeping into today. Not cool. While trying to mentally wipe my slate clean and start fresh, the LORD brought Lam 3:22 to mind. Thank You, Jesus for Your steadfast love and for mercies that never come to an end.
Lam 3:23 “…they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
My current mood reminds me of a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
Lam 3:24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
Lord, Thank You for this day and for Your mercies, which are new every morning. Thank You for bringing the Emerson quote to mind as I begin this new day. Thank You for the ability to finish each day and be done with it, the ability to wipe the slate clean, to turn the page. Help me to go into this new day unencumbered by yesterday’s nonsense. Help me to shine Your light and Your love. Draw me closer. Amen.
Heb 10:23 Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
Have a blessed day.
