“The LORD’s mercies are new every morning.” — Lamentations 3:23 (KJV)
The saints of God do not face Monday as the world does — with dread and groaning — but with the fresh assurance that the same God who sustained us through the Lord’s Day has not slumbered through the night. His covenant mercies are not exhausted. They are new this morning, as sure as the sunrise He appointed.
Jeremiah wrote Lamentations from the ruins of Jerusalem. Yet even in ashes, he could say, “Great is thy faithfulness” (Lam. 3:23). Your Monday may feel like ruins: the weight of the week ahead, the trials still unresolved from last. But grace is not rationed. The well does not run dry.
Go into this week not in your own strength, but leaning hard upon the everlasting arms (Deut. 33:27). The God of the Sabbath rest is also the God of Monday’s labor. Work, then, as those who are kept, not as those who must keep themselves.
A word from Spurgeon: “Every morning mercy is renewed; every evening it wraps thee round.”
“It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.”
