Lamentations 3:22-23. “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.” EVERY MORNING. The first conscious breath I draw every day, Is a vivid reminder to me – The mercies of the Lord are coming my way – That I, a living sacrifice will be.
His compassions keep coming, though none I deserve. I’m not consumed by the pressures around. Each morning He supplies far more than I’ve earned – And by His mercies, I’ve not been consumed.
He is my portion, He restoreth my soul – Every provision I need, He supplies. My hope is in Him; in Him I am whole – My body presented - a living sacrifice.
I wait here for Him, for He wholly is good – I seek Him here, and wait for His voice – To speak peace to me – the salvation of the Lord Still blesses me, as in grace my Savior comes close.
No longer a youth, but I still have my strength – That a yoke for my Lord I can bear. Each morning is fresh, as each day runs its length – I can sense that my Savior is near.
I listen and learn that it is foolish to think That any of this is my right. By trying my ways, and in turning, I search – With my heart in my hands lifted high.
“O God, there is great value to me in the morning watch. It seems things are clearer and more defined then. That Thou would renew all that I need each morning seems to guarantee a freshness that would be missing in any other time. Thanks very much for this daily provision. Amen.”
