Mercy Arrives in the Morning
Scripture
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.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
Some mornings begin with an old ache, the same financial concern, or a question that did not resolve while you slept. New mercy does not always mean new circumstances. It means God's compassion has not been exhausted by yesterday's need. Receive mercy in today's measure. It may be enough patience for an appointment, enough courage for a conversation, enough energy for one responsibility, or enough peace to postpone a decision until you have sound advice. You do not need to carry a year's worth of strength at breakfast. God's faithfulness meets you in daily portions. Tomorrow's mercy will not arrive early, but neither will it fail to arrive with Him.
Reflection
What burden am I carrying today that actually belongs to a future day?
Prayer
Faithful God, thank You that Your compassion is not depleted. Help me receive today's mercy and leave tomorrow in Your care. Amen.
One Small Step Today
