New every morning

As I awoke this morning, a chorus from long ago was running through my head from the book of Lamentations.

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.
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
Lam 3:22-24 NIV

The Lord's compassions or mercies are new every morning. He cooks up a new batch with each sunrise.

By His mercy, my sins are forgiven.
By His mercy, I wake up each morning.
By His mercy, I have a wonderful, loving wife.
By His mercy, I have two great kids.
By His mercy, I have freedom to do His will.
By His mercy, I am washed by the water of His Word.
By His mercy, I am released from my own stupidity.
By His mercy, I don't get what I deserve.
By His mercy, I do receive peace in the midst of trials.
By His mercy, in Him I live and move and have my being.
By His mercy, I have a clean start with each new day.
By His mercy, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
