SEPTEMBER 05, 2023
Lamentations 3:22-23
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his
compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
The wonderful reality about being a Jesus follower is that we are given
a fresh start every day. Every morning God is calling us to deeper places, providing
us with the opportunity to start Fresh. Each new day, his love, wisdom, and
forgiveness are waiting for us. His mercies (compassions) are new every morning,
as our text says.
Maybe between last September 5 and today we can say that it was the best
year ever for us, or maybe it was the hardest. Either way, our verse today
gives us the promise of something new. The invitation is for each of us to take
the time to reflect on what should remain in the past, (stop here make a mental
list of things to leave behind) and pray for what we want this year to be
filled with, we then move forward in hope.
So, as you take the time to reflect today, I want to challenge you to
think about what you need more of in your life moving forward and ask God to
help position you toward those things that will strengthen and make for a life
full of hope.
Remember, “Because of the Lord’s great
love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every
morning; great is your faithfulness.”
LET US PRAY
Lord, help me to leave what is in the past in the past. I ask for a
fresh start today. Would you please reveal to me the things that are harmful in
my life that I need to leave behind, and give me eyes to see what you want this
new season to be about? Thank you for your faithfulness, that you never give up
on me. Thank you for new beginnings. Amen.
