in SOAP format: Scripture - Observation - Application - Prayer
Scripture
“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23
Observation
God's Mercies are new every morning. Yesterday may have been a bad day. You may be filled with guilt because of something you did. But today is a new day, and the steadfast love of the LORD gives you new mercy today with the faithfulness and love only God can give.
It's easy when things are going good to look at God's word and feel the love and see the blessings He is giving us. It is harder on the days where you feel like you messed up something. It may seem there is a cloud over you because of something you did, or some bad feeling you have. You can rejoice in the LORD because are forgiven and today is a new day full of God's faithful mercy and love. You are washed clean in mercy. You can forget about those past problems and look excitedly forward into the new day.
"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases..." this means He is always going to love us and we can be sure (as we studied earlier) that He is with us and in us. He did not give up on us, He is holding his loving arms around us, and His Holy Spirit is blowing that cloud away to let in the light of His Love.
"his mercies never come to an end;" means God's mercy NEVER comes to an end. He never gives up. He is not like us where He gets so frustrated that He quits giving us mercy, His mercies never come to an end. So we can rest in the assurance that God is in us and giving us His faithful love and mercy. Feel Him, feel the Holy Spirit remove that burden right now, and feel the blessing of being new.
"they are new every morning;" lets us know that every morning God is with us again. His love is new, fresh, and strong, and His mercy is new and complete. Each morning we are new every morning in God's faithful love and mercy.
great is your faithfulness.” this is praise to the LORD God Yahweh of the great faithfulness He shows to us. We are strong and new, fresh and vibrant, glowing in the light of the Love and Mercy of our great God.
Application
We apply this to our life, simply, be believing it is true. Believe God loves us, believe His mercy for us is complete and we are new this morning and each morning. Fresh and forgiven, ready for a new exciting day full of fun, excitement, and blessings. We believe God loves us completely, knows our struggles, He is helping us, and fully forgives us if we feel like a failure. He is with us, in us, and He goes before us protecting us and making a way for us. Praise our gracious loving God for His faithfulness to us.
Prayer
Thank you father God for this day and your faithful love and mercy. Thank you for caring for us. Thank you for being there when we are good, and thank you for being there when we are not good (and may not even be thinking of or aware of you). We know you are always with us and in us, and as we rise this new morning, we are thankful you remind us that You are faithful to us in never ending faithful love and mercy to us. I pray in Jesus Christ you go before us today and every day guiding us in peace, leading us to victory, and giving us success. Shalom and Blessing Brothers and Sisters in God and Jesus Christ.
