In my morning jog, I see the sun rise against the lake and I always felt in awe of how sunrise gets the day off to a fresh start. It is almost like on cue – birds come alive and start chirping, even the greenery in the park seems to take on a greener shade! I remembered when I was caring for my child’s eczema – each day is a new day, a day where it may just be possible that her skin would get better.
It’s like the song ‘As We Gather’ with the lyrics below. We can be comforted and blessed that God’s love is steadfast and his mercies have no end. Each day is a new start with fresh hope. I do pray that all of us, including myself, we ‘get’ the nature of God and experience His love.
Bible verse:
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.
Lyrics of As We Gather, by Mike Faye & Tom Coomes
As we gather my Your Spirit work within us
As we gather may we glorify Your Name
Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship
We’ll be blessed because we came
We’ll be blessed because we came
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning, new every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord
Great is Thy faithfulness
Steadfast Love from God and mercies are new every morning
