“…It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23

One of the greatest things about waking up to a new day is knowing that God has already placed fresh mercy in it.

Yesterday may not have gone the way you wanted.

Maybe you made some mistakes.
Maybe somebody disappointed you.
Maybe you carried a burden to bed last night that was still on your mind when you opened your eyes this morning.

But here’s the good news:

God didn’t run out of mercy yesterday!

Jeremiah said, “They are new every morning.”

That means you don’t have to face today living on yesterday’s supply.

There is fresh grace for today.
Fresh strength for today.
Fresh hope for today.
Fresh mercy for today.

And I love how Jeremiah finishes it:

“Great is thy faithfulness.”

Our circumstances may change, but God doesn’t.

Our emotions may rise and fall, but God remains faithful.

We may not know what this day will bring, but we know Who will be with us through it.

So don’t let yesterday steal today.

Yesterday is gone.

This morning is another reminder from God that He isn’t finished with you yet.

Take a deep breath. Thank God for another day. Receive the mercy He has already provided, and keep moving forward.

Because every sunrise carries the same beautiful reminder:

God has been faithful before.

God is faithful today.

And God will be faithful tomorrow.

Somebody watching this tonight is exhausted from trying to figure everything out.

You’ve thought about it all day. You’ve played out every possibility, and now you’re lying in bed trying to solve tomorrow’s problems.

Friend, I want you to hear something.

You don’t have to figure everything out to trust the One who already knows.

Proverbs 3:5–6 says,

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Notice, God doesn’t ask you to understand everything. He asks you to trust Him.

You may not know what tomorrow holds, but you know Who holds tomorrow.

So tonight, stop trying to carry what belongs in God’s hands.

Let’s pray.

Father, quiet our minds, calm our hearts, and help us trust You with tomorrow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Now, my friend, get some rest.

God’s got tomorrow.

And as always…

Press On!

Are you tired of being the strong one for everybody else?

The one everybody calls when something goes wrong.

The one who always has to have the answers.

The one who encourages everybody else, even when you’re struggling yourself.

Friend, sometimes the strongest people are carrying the heaviest burdens.

And maybe this morning, you’re just tired.

Listen to what Jesus says in Matthew 11:28:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Notice what Jesus didn’t say.

He didn’t say, “Come to me when you’ve got everything figured out.”

He didn’t say, “Come to me when you’re strong enough.”

He simply said, “Come unto me.”

You don’t have to pretend with Jesus.

You don’t have to put on a smile when your heart is hurting.

You don’t have to carry everything by yourself.

The same Jesus who gives you strength to help others is inviting you to come to Him and find rest for your own weary soul.

So today, take a moment.

Put down what you’ve been carrying.

Tell Him what’s on your heart.

And remember this:

You can be strong in your faith and still need to rest in your Savior.

If you know somebody who’s always being strong for everybody else, send them this encouragement today.
