One Long Day

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:23, NIV)

I love getting up early in the morning. The new day is a miracle . . . after all we start fresh and have a new beginning every 24 hours. Think about it. God is faithful to give us a new day, which signifies a new work in our life. God could have created one long day . . . a day that never ends. Yikes! How boring, tedious, and mundane does that sound?

The Lamentations writer wanted the people to know that the mercy of God was fresh and new every day. God's faithfulness is never old and mundane but blows into our life like a fresh wind. The fresh mercy sets humanity free from what has held us captive.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (II Corinthians 5:17, NIV)

God has created more than one long day for you and I to experience.
Celebrate the new day.
Let the new mercy of God cover you each new day.
Be made new every day.

Learning with you to experience being made new every day,
Shalom,
Kerrie
