They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness – Lamentations 3:23
His hands are over me,
Yes, I can feel them.
His grace is covering me,
Yes, I can see it.
No matter all the bad I’ve done,
God’s love remembers not a single one,
His hands of grace are always with me.
Although the opening verses were composed a day earlier, they nevertheless support a devotional message about the reasons we Christians should feel blessed. It mentioned having the security of food and shelter and the health to be physically mobile, even if these areas may not be as abundant as desired. Which for me includes God’s promise of forgetfulness in both the Old and New Testaments: “I, even I, am he that blotted out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins” (Isaiah 43:25) and “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 10:17).
On this Sunday, I hope you will likewise meditate on the author’s testimony in Lamentations 3:22 – “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.” Doing so, you’ll be reminded of God’s Hands of Grace over your life, His protection, His supply, and His mercy, and how they are indeed “new every morning.”
