New Mercies

As we approach the end of the year and prepare to start a new year, human thoughts naturally gravitate toward a change or a fresh start. We call them New Year's resolutions, and they are rarely the start of lasting change.

Personally, I've never participated in this enterprise because it has such a lack of lasting results. God thought of the concept of fresh starts before time began. Every day comes with completely new mercies (His compassion toward us). Because of mercy, we don't get the punishment we deserve; we get the rewards we don't deserve. When we get up in the morning, we are greeted by new mercies that weren't there yesterday.

Every day has a whole new load of mercies to get through the day!
