Intro: For the first 50 days of 2016, I will be doing something different than usual in your dailyeword. I felt like God spoke to me to do #50songs50days. I believe that music is such a beautiful part of life, and so enriching to our lives as believers and a great addition to our devotional life, so we are doing 50 songs from the beginning of January until the middle of February. I actually come from a long line of writers, and my late paternal grandfather wrote a whole hymn book of songs for his denomination. One of my uncles on my mother’s side is a wordsmith and a poet in several languages. I love that heritage, and believe those gifts will be passed on to future generations through my offspring. I hope you enjoy #50songs50days or your dailyewords.
I’m sure all of us have done this, we make a fresh start, a new firm commitment, a new line in the sand, or even in concrete, and bummer, in a few short days, or hours, or even minutes, we blow it. What we said we wouldn’t do, or what we wouldn’t eat, or wouldn’t say. We are kicking ourselves, and angry, frustrated, and giving ourselves no mercy. At that moment, aren’t you thankful for the mercy and grace of God? I know I sure am. Grace and mercy don’t give us a license to sin, they give us motivation to keep going. God hasn’t given up on you! Don’t give up on yourself.
New Mercy For Me
New mercy for me,
His grace I’ve received
I don’t do life alone,
He calls me His own
Giving strength for my path,
His favorite I am
Old patterns are broken
His word I have spoken
I’m changed inside now
I’m living it out
New mercy received
His grace is for me.
