Memorial Day

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

John 15:13

Today we honour those who laid down their lives in order that we could enjoy freedom in our land today, by remembering their sacrifice.

These brave men and women are a revolutionary representation of the radical love God has and proved for us in sending His only Son, Jesus, to lay down His life as a sacrifice, that we might be free from sin and death when we repent and place our faith in Him alone.

Humbly and gratefully, remember both today.

New Day, New Mercies

His mercies are new every morning...

(From Lamentations 3:22-23)

When we embrace and rely on the mercies with gratitude and praise we won't be attempting to control the morning, and things are less likely to go wrong.

When we are attempting to control the morning we aren't fully noticing and enjoying the mercies, and things are out of order from the get go.

The only "disorders" we find ourselves dealing with in this sin-fallen world are those we have created for ourselves by getting things out of order; putting our way ahead of His perfect way that He set in place for us.

If you're encountering bad day after bad day, and struggling with anxious thoughts and worries, try remembering this and practice reaching out for His mercies rather than the morning; leave that with Him.
