One of the great struggles that we have today is who can we trust to give us good guidance or direction. The other day, I went to a very large store looking for a specific item. I couldn’t find the item so I asked an employee did they know where the item was. She told us it was in aisle 3. However, even though she was an employee, she gave me incorrect info. I asked two more employees and finally found the item I was looking for. This happens in every area, whether you need your car repaired, a doctor that can correctly diagnose your issue, what kind of school should you go to, etc. Fortunately for us who trust in Christ, God can be trusted to give us the perfect wisdom and guidance that we need! Isaiah 48:17 (AMP) says: “This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit (benefit), Who leads you in the way that you should go”. So, instead of asking everybody for help except our Heavenly Father, it’s time to turn this equation around. Go to God first and ask Him for wisdom and guidance every morning. He will teach you to prosper in your way, and will lead you in righteous paths. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so daily walk with God because He will direct your paths!
His mercies are new every morning!
The Prophet Jeremiah reminds us of one of the most precious promises that we need to remember each and every day in Lamentations 3:21 -23: “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord‘s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness”.
Isn’t that an awesome promise! God promises us that His mercies are brand new each and every morning. His compassions fail not. This promise should be settled in your heart once and for all that God is not holding your past sin over your head. It is the devil that attempts to keep you in a place of guilt and shame. Once we ask for forgiveness, He forgives us and doesn’t remember them any more. And although we mess up and fall short, His mercies pick us up each and every day. Be reminded today that His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness!
