Psalm 28: 6-7
Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
The Psalmist tells us how the Lord heard his cry for mercy when he cried out to Him. We know the Lord’s mercies are new every morning and He hears us too when we cry out to Him. His ear is tuned into our cry just like a mother’s ear is tuned in to hear her own baby when it cries. And just like a baby needs fresh milk every few hours the Lord knows we’ll need fresh mercies throughout our day too.
So when we woke up this morning God made available to us all the new mercies we’re going to need for the rest of the day, for us to draw on. Isn’t that a wonderful provision? We need to remember His love for us never ceases and His mercies never come to an end. That’s Never! It’s a bit like saying God’s grace is more than enough for all we’ll need to do today as well. (2 Corinthians 12:9) My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.
Our God is compassionate, slow to anger and great in mercy and knowing that should fill us with great joy and peace. There is no one more trustworthy than our God because what His word says, He will do, and He can’t lie to us so when we read His promises they are Yes and Amen in Jesus. No wonder the Psalmist said he could trust Him with all his heart.
So let’s have a heart of thanksgiving today to our merciful God knowing we can trust Him with whatever is causing us anxiety and know He’s holding us, and all that concerns us, safe in the palm of His hand and rest in that wonderful truth. Amen.😊
Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
