New Mercies
Lamentations 3 reminds us that God’s compassions, his mercies, are new every morning. Every single morning. What a gift!
Each day we have the opportunity to approach the King and say, “Your will today, not mine.”
If you’re participating in First 5 or you’re just looking for a new morning routine, read and pray through these Scriptures. Use them as a morning conversation starter between you and the God who loves you.
“When Jesus said he’d be with us always, he meant that in a very real way. You experience him personally—that sounds mysterious, and it is. You begin to learn from him and yield to his way of doing things. As you soak your thinking in his Scriptures, you start seeing things as he does.” – Greg Holder, Never Settle
This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
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
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:25-26
If you don’t have all the wisdom needed for this journey, then all you have to do is ask God for it; and God will grant all that you need. He gives lavishly and never scolds you for asking.
James 1:5
Through the heartfelt mercies of our God,
God’s Sunrise will break in upon us,
Shining on those in the darkness,
those sitting in the shadow of death,
Then showing us the way, one foot at a time,
down the path of peace.
Luke 1:78-79
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14
I have swept away your offenses like a cloud,
your sins like the morning mist.
Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
Isaiah 44:22
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing!
Romans 13:12
The Lord is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
Exodus 15:2
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:11
The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Psalm 29:11
Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
While we don’t consciously choose a less-than-life, it happens. Little by little, we start putting down roots in a land of less than: less than satisfying, less than interesting, less than helpful, and certainly less than hopeful. Before we know it our faith is lukewarm, apathetic, bland. Consider this an invitation to a different way of thinking, of seeing the world, of living in the world.
For those who want to know that their life has significance, that their choices matter, and that they can start a chain reaction in our world this missional book is for you. Never Settle is a tangible reminder that every choice in your day is crackling with God’s redemptive power – you, yes you, are called to be a part of what God is doing in the world.
God will give us peace!

Amen and thank you from the deep south, cape town 🙏🏻👑✝️❤️🔥
Thanks for these divine word am blessed God bless you
Powerfull and good teachingl
Wow that’s was awesome! Great study that blessed my soul within and out, almost brought me to tears of joy. I was reminded of his mercy meeting me every morning by morning when I arise early in the mercy it just hit me like a ton of brick that I bust with tears of joy. His Son Jesus Christ paid a great price and now I am of great valve to Elohim!
I am appreciative of the perspective offered as I am interested in doing some daily “course corrections” that will enable me to achieve my ultimate goal which is, the ability to hear God’s voice and recognize His directions with the “Masterful Precision” that Jesus Himself indicated I should be able to‼️
Thanks for the inspiration and God bless
This is exactly what I needed to hear through reading this. Thank you
Very encouraging
