This is the spotlight on the scriptures Lamentations 3, 22 and 23. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.

Speaker 1: 1:03

Paul Tripp said mercy is the theme of God's story. Mercy is the thread that runs through all of scripture. Mercy is the reason for Jesus' coming. Mercy is what your desperate heart needs. Mercy is the healer your relationship needs. Mercy is what gives you comfort in weakness and hope in times of trials.

Speaker 1: 1:26

Mercy can do what the law is powerless to do. Mercy not only meets you in your struggles, but guarantees that someday your struggles will end. Mercy is what the sin-broken world groans for. Mercy triumphs where justice can't. If God offers us only justice, no one will run to him. It is in the knowledge of his mercy that makes us honestly face ourselves and gladly run to him.

Speaker 1: 1:56

Listen, God's mercy is new every morning. We all get mercies every morning, but it doesn't come to all of us in the same size and shape. God knows what you are, he knows who you are, he knows where you are. He knows what you are facing in this life. He meets you just with the right mercies for that moment. Stop allowing yourself to judge your life in a way that is devoid of new morning mercies. Could there be a greater consolation than knowing that these three hope-giving words, his mercies, are new every morning? A little boy one day came to his mother and said Mama, give me a peanut butter sandwich. The mother made him a peanut butter sandwich, but then he looked at it and smiled. He said Mama, I asked you for a peanut butter sandwich and you put gel on it too. Beloved, you know what mercy is. Mercy is when God not only gives you what you ask for, but he adds a little extra to it too. He gives you and me more than we deserve. This is a spotlight on the scriptures.
