A Little God Time For MothersSample

New Mercies

Did you have a hard day yesterday? Perhaps a hard week? Better yet, are you just in a difficult season? Nothing tests us like mothering. It exposes our weaknesses and sins better than any other role. Be encouraged, dear daughters, we aren’t alone. Life isn’t easy for anyone. We are all called to take up our cross and follow Jesus.

God doesn’t want us to feel defeated though. He wants us to know his infinite and powerful grace. Where we are weak, he is strong. He has new mercy for us each day. Yes, that’s right! We may have used up our allotment of mercy yesterday, but there is new mercy available for us today. Every morning, he pours fresh mercy into our hearts. He knows we need it.

“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT

Do you feel like you ask for mercy too often? Today, you can receive all the mercy you need from him. He won’t remind you of the mercy you used yesterday. In fact, he expected you to use it. That is precisely why he gives you fresh mercy today.
