The mercies of the Lord are here for us again this morning

The mercies of the Lord are here for us again this morning. It’s a brand new day, a chance to remain quiet and circumspect and, if not wise, at least potentially less foolish. This morning, not only is it our moment to receive mercy but it’s also our moment to give it. The flesh of Christ travels easily over the internet.

Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!

If you have a moment…reread Lamentations 3. If that chapter isn’t poetic and haunting I don’t know what is.

I love this from Andy. It’s hard to express to the Lord how is mercies never end and then be a person that swipes open their phone to lay siege to those who might not actually oppose us but just think differently. I’m not even talking about Christian social; it’s *everywhere.*

Canon people fight Sony people of photo social.

PHP people fight JS people on dev social.

Marines fight Army on military social.

And on and on and on. I’m not talking about joking around and being coy; I’m talking about tapping on that comment box and spitting venom. Everywhere all day.

Sure, there are true enemies and true battles online. But every stray opinion we come across is not the battlefield even though social encourages that.

What if instead of trolling the waters looking to mark our disagreement; we were searching instead for those who need encouragement and giving it? Or if instead of venom, we just said nothing at all?

Thank you Andy 🙏🏻
