New Every Morning…

“They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:23

Normally I’ll be praying in my master bedroom but just a few days ago I felt like praying in another room. So that morning I went to that room, sat on the bed and I was facing my window. It is a transparent glass and through that window I can see a beautiful green hillside. I can see the green hills and birds happily flying early that morning. I felt in my heart that the birds are rejoicing for the brand new day and gladly flying around celebrating their new day…

Watching the beautiful hillside and the birds on the air, I begin to praise and worship Him. The worship and my chit chat with God went on for sometime. Actually the day before that morning, I heard heartbreaking news from someone. The news really concerns me so much and I went to my bed with a sorrowful heart that night. That morning, I knew in my heart that God wants to speak to me in a different way when He prompted me to go to the other room and pray.

While I continued to talk to God, suddenly I saw the beautiful sun rise from the back of the hills. The beautiful sun began to shine and I saw the sunshine gives a new light for that day. At that moment I had a wonderful sense of adoration towards the Creator, our Heavenly Father who is so faithful at all times. When I saw the Sun rise, in my spirit I saw God’s faithfulness, His provision, His grace, His second chance and His everlasting love.

God will never turn His back from His people. Like the sun always shining on the dark surface of this world, His light will always shine on us. Even in the darkest point of our lives, God’s light will faithfully show us the way out. As the sun light provides sufficient supplements for green plants in this world and keep us warm from the cold weather, God will faithfully provide all our needs in life and satisfy us with His great love. He will never fail us.

Not only that, when I saw the beautiful sunrise that morning, it reminds me about God’s grace and many second chances He gave us each day. Every morning is a brand new day God has given us to do it all over again those things that we fail to do the day before. When you mess up yesterday, in Him you have a second chance to turn the mess into a message today. That is God’s grace and His faithfulness for all of us each day.

My friend, in some seasons you may see the sun every day but sometimes it may rain, and the sun could be blocked by the clouds. But no matter how thick the cloud is, the sun is always there. In the same way, at times our life can be like a bright sunshine day, but sometimes it could be a rainy and cloudy day. No matter what season of life you go through, God is always there for us and He is always faithful. In the end, surely you will see His light again. Let us remind ourselves each morning that God is so good to us. Let us remain in the truth of His never ending grace and faithfulness in our lives, “They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:23


The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord.
Great is Thy faithfulness...
