Mercies New.

Wow. God is awesome. That is all I can say... Check this out!

Lamentations 3:21-23
"This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.
Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness."

So this verse is in pretty much one of my favorite hymns EVER- Great is Thy Faithfulness
I know most of us know it, but I just wanted to put the lyrics here because they are so beautiful, and I realized today that I have wanted to find and learn the verse for quite some time.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
One of my favorite versions of this hymn is by Selah, and you can listen to it/watch it here:


So I found it and have really been reflecting on it. This verse/song is a huge part of my testimony, and it never ceases to ASTOUND me that God continues to be faithful to such a sinner as I. Every single day he provides me with multiple miracles-allowing me to live, and breathe, keeping me from danger or getting lost (a constant fear of mine), letting me do things that I love, providing for my needs even before I realize them. He is so Awesome!

Anyway... I just needed to remind myself of that. God Bless You!
