Through the Lord's mercies

“Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.”

Lamentations 3:22-23 (New King James Version)

Picked up the newspaper as usual in the morning to grab a quick glance at the headlines. It doesn’t matter which part of the world we may be in , but the news headlines have disaster after disaster to report. Over dinner last night we were watching the discovery channel and saw this documentary of a town being ravaged by floods from a storm. The roads were flooded with water and mud flowing with fury. The cars we being swept away and toppling over in the water. Whatever people had held dear had just vanished in a second… buildings collapsing , homes being swept away by the strong currents. Its amazing isn’t it …with all the technology that man has acquired and calls himself self sufficient , all it takes is for God to allow a storm and everything vanishes !!

Every breath that we take is by His grace and mercy. Its like God even carefully filters out the air that we breathe and lets it go into us so that unwanted germs stay out of system. His protection is amazing.

We all woke up this morning with different things running in our minds… as the day started off and as we reach our offices and colleges and schools or send people off to their offices, a lot of things might have happened.. but let nothing ever make us lose out on what this day is really about… its about Him. He has protected us and blessed us to see this day. He is faithful and loves us no matter how badly we fall short of the mark.

May our hearts be tuned to Him. He is merciful and compassionate even when we don’t deserve it. He is faithful even when we are not. And may His grace , mercy and faithfulness be reflected in the life that we lead.

God Bless
