New Mercies Pouring Down Every Rainy Day! "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 3:22-24 KJV Days like today it can be really hard to imagine that the "Sun will come out tomorrow." But, so far at least, it always has.
In fact, the Bible tells us that "His compassions fail not," and that "The Lord's mercies" are "New every morning." Good thing, or I would have been "consumed" a long, long time ago.
I mostly use the New American Standard Bible or the New International Version (NASB or NIV) but this verse just speaks to me from the King James Version.
This same verse is in the others, of course, the NIV translates it: "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed" and "The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease" says the NASB.
Interesting that Mercy and Love can be translated from the same word, huh?
Check this one out:
"10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10 NIV
I figure it the Lord sends down so much blessing I can't store it, I will just pass some around!
So, when Spring seems 4 months away instead of 4 weeks, and when the checking account balance is less than your age, and when you feel like the most you can pull off is getting out of bed that day, just remember, ask the Lord for what you need, trust Him, and he will MORE than make it all work out.
Oh, and if it rains on your parade, take your shoes off and splash a little!! |
