New Sunrise – New Mercy

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning Lamentations 3:22

Did you ever stop to think that while the sun sets on this side of the earth it is rising on the other? At the same time that the sun is setting on one day it is is about to dawn on another. In the midst of this current world wide pandemic or in the middle of a personal crisis we may find ourselves at a dead end, but God does not. He never runs out of new ideas a new sunrise or new mercy.  One of the greatest promises in the Bible is God’s mercy through our Lord Jesus Christ. God’s mercies are always new and have not altered over time. They have no expiration date! God isn’t worn out from trying to get His mission accomplished and He never changes.  So even if it feels as if the sun is setting on all your hopes and dreams; God’s mercies are ever new and His new mercy is promised on your horizon.

And That Was That!

They sealed Him in the grave

And that

Was that

And soldiers sent to guard

Stood back

To back

All through the second day

All Hope

Seemed black

Till on that Sunday morn

They heard

A crack

The tomb was opened wide

To show

The fact

That Jesus Christ was free

From death’s

Dark Pact

And Mary heard His voice

It echoed

Back

To tell the mighty news

And that

Was that!

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. John 20:18

Easter Morning

At Daybreak

Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. John 21:4 ESV

This morning Jesus is standing at the shore in your life. He is waiting for you to see Him at dawn and come running. He has watched you all night as you were working hard trying to fish without Him.

Jesus is waiting at daybreak on your shore eagerly anticipating your arrival. He has baked fresh bread and fish on the campfire. He is ready to share all that He has with us. But first He commands us to cast out our nets once more.

Jesus is standing on our shore waiting for us to see Him, waiting to share and waiting with one simple question; “Do you love Me?”

Can we answer as Peter did, “Lord you know all things. You know that I love you.”?

When we can answer that from our hearts; then Jesus reminds us all again to; “Feed my sheep!” and “Follow Me!”
