Living a Great-Full Life: How Great Is Each New Day
November 29, 2025
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23

Psalm 78:37-3937 For their heart was not steadfast with Him,Nor were they faithful in His covenant.38 But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity,And did not destroy them.Yes, many a time He turned His anger away,And did not stir up all His wrath;39 For He remembered that they were but flesh,A breath that passes away and does not come again.
Psalm 78:37-39
In the 1993 romantic comedy movie Groundhog Day the main character gets stuck in a time loop in which he relives February 2 day after day. He wakes up every morning knowing exactly what is going to happen that day, unburdened by the things that happened the day before.
Imagine waking up every morning burdened by the mistakes you made the day before. Since we make mistakes nearly every day, their accumulated burden would soon become intolerable. Thankfully, that is not the case! The Bible says that God’s mercy and compassion are new every morning. Instead of being consumed by the judgment of God, we are gifted a great new day. That doesn’t mean that our sins and mistakes are insignificant. But it does mean that God’s mercy and compassion keep us in His care in spite of our failures. Forgiven, we are free to live every day without the burden of yesterday’s sins.
Let this truth be your last thought at night and your first thought in the morning. And praise God for each and every new day!
Christianity is getting older every year. Yet it is also new, new every morning.
