about:
Mercies that Rise With the New Morn

as i worshipped during service yesterday..
God really touched me in a special way..
beyond all the nice melodies..
that were dancing in my ears..
God really spoke to me about a word..
that really shook my heart..
"mercies that rise with the new morn..set me apart as a new born.."
as we come into a new year..
we would naturally think..there will be new and greater challenges..
higher mountains to climb..
more victories to be won..
but the song does not say "new year"..
it says "new morn"..
that every single day..
challenges are being met and overcomed..
victories are being won and defeats are being documented..
but as we fall asleep..and wake up the next morning..
challenges that we met ytd..have become OLD..
victories that were won ytd..are OLD victories..
defeats that we faced ytd..are OLD defeats..
they are history...
but God reNEWS His mercies..
His love and His power every morning..

we are in a constant battle..
not every year..but EVERY DAY..
we fight, we toil, we charge as hard as we can..
a smile on your parents face for some good you have done ytd...
is an OLD victory..
cos there's more smiles u need to fight for today...
a 15-minute quiet time ytd..
is an old victory..
as there's a new 15-minutes to conquer today..
a chapter read from the Bible ytd..
is an OLD victory..
cos there's another chapter to be read today..
a soul that gave his heart to Jesus ytd..
is an OLD victory..
as there's another soul to win over this Sunday..
a tear on your friend's face becos of a word of encouragement..
is an OLD victory..
cos there's more hearts that need to be impacted today..
and through it all..
God gives us His NEW power, NEW love, NEW strength, New anointing, NEW words, NEW mercies..every morning..
to fight every battle needed to be fought on that NEW day..
and as i knelt there..
i can't help but was deeply moved by Him..and thanked God for His faithfulness, power and love..that He has brought me through every 365 days of 2008..
and i didn't just survived..i have become victorious!

so guys, there are new challenges every day..
unpredictability and change is the only constant..
however, today's challenges become familiar...
becos of ytd's experience..
and with God's new mercies..
we will fight again..
but we will definitely be victorious..
so whether it is sins or bad habits..
attitudes, wounds and hurts..
unforgiveness, anger and bitterness..
whatever it may be..
let us realize that His mercies are NEW every morning..
and everyday we live..
we know that He is our God:)
