‘ …’HIS COMPASSIONS NEVER FAIL…THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING;” LAMENTATIONS 3:22 -23

If you think you are solely responsible for your success, think again.

Each day when you wake up, be like the lady who said, ‘It is a good thing God’s mercy is new every morning because I used up all of yesterday’s supply!’ Webster’s Dictionary defines mercy as ‘tenderness of heart that disposes a person to overlook injuries or to treat an offender better than he deserves.’ That is a picture of God’s mercy toward you!

David was a man who loved God very much, yet lust overcame him causing him to commit adultery; then have the woman’s husband killed. The reason David talked about God’s mercy is because he needed so much of it! Only a person who is gut-level honest in their evaluation of themselves can say, ‘O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever’ (Psalm 107:1 AMP).

If you think you are solely responsible for your success, think again. Paul, the greatest of the Apostles wrote: ‘…I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing…’ (Romans 7:18). It is impossible to be merciful until we have thoroughly come to terms with our own need for mercy - and learned to receive it from the Lord. The truth is, if any of us were ‘perfect,’ nobody could stand us because we would expect the same of others. Every time we have a memory lapse concerning our own faults, we end up being hard to live with. At such times God reminds us again of our flawed condition. He allows us to get into just enough trouble to need His mercy, to keep us humble, and therefore useable.

‘EACH TREE IS RECOGNIZED BY ITS OWN FRUIT…” LUKE 6:44


icebergThe Titanic received five iceberg warnings just before it went down. When the sixth message came during the wee hours of the morning: ‘Look out for icebergs,’ the operator wired back ‘Shut-up! I’m busy!’ Thirty minutes later the great vessel; whose captain said, ‘Even God couldn’t sink this ship;’ was sinking fast. What happened? They forgot the truth about icebergs. What they saw above the water couldn’t have sunk the great ship. But unfortunately most of an iceberg is below the water. Do you know what? That iceberg represents your life! The 10% above the water is your reputation, the 90% below is your character. And it’s what’s below the surface that sinks your ship.

What is character?

a) self-discipline - the ability to do what’s right, even when you don’t feel like it

b) core values - principles you live by in spite of the pressures around you

c) sense of identity - a self-image based on who God, not others, says you are

d) emotional security - the capacity to be emotionally stable and consistent.

Your life’s greatest impact doesn’t come from what you own, but from what you are. Jesus said, ‘”Each tree is recognized by its own fruit…The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart…”‘ (Luke 6:44-45 NIV). Whatever’s happening today on the outside of your life comes from what’s happening on the inside. God puts ‘being’ before ‘doing.’ He prioritises taking care of the inside (your heart) because that will determine what takes place on the outside (your behaviour).

Think about it!
