*Topic : Living in the Consciousness of God's Mercies.*

*Text : Lamentations 3:22–23 (KJV)

“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”*

*-----Inspirational Message-----*

To live in the consciousness of God's mercies is to walk daily with the awareness that everything we are, everything we have, and every opportunity we receive is rooted in God’s unmerited mercy. When we forget God's mercy, we risk living in pride, ingratitude, and spiritual dryness. But when we embrace it, our lives become filled with humility, thankfulness, and peace.

*1. God’s Mercy Is the Foundation of Our Relationship with Him.*

According to Titus 3:5a (KJV) - “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us…” We are saved not because we were worthy but because of God’s mercy. Our salvation, sanctification, and continual access to God are all acts of divine mercy. Knowing this keeps us humble and dependent on Him.

*2. God’s Mercy Is Ever-Present and Ever-New.*

From the book of Psalm 103:17a (KJV), we saw that God said, - “But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him…” Also in Lamentations 3:23a (KJV), God also said, - “They are new every morning…” Every new day is a reminder that God has not given up on us. He offers a fresh start, His mercies are not recycled; they are renewed daily. Living in this consciousness brings hope even in the face of failure or despair.

*3. Living in Mercy Produces Gratitude and Worship.*

When we live in the Consciousness of God’s Mercies, we are filled with the heart of gratitude and thanksgiving. We can see that in Psalm 136:1 (KJV) - “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.” When we live with the awareness of God’s mercy, our hearts are filled with thanksgiving. Gratitude is a natural response to the mercy of God. It transforms our worship from duty to delight.

*4. Mercy Empowers Us to Be Merciful to Others.*

According to Matthew 5:7 (KJV) - “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” Also in Luke 6:36 (KJV) - “Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.” When we live conscious of the Mercies of God we have received, we become channels of that mercy to others. We forgive more easily, show compassion, and extend Grace.

*5. Mercy Gives Us Boldness Before God.*

We can see that in Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) - “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Knowing that God is merciful gives us confidence to approach Him, not in fear or shame, but with boldness, because we trust in His compassion.

*Conclusion.*

Living in the consciousness of God’s mercy transforms how we see ourselves, others, and God. It reminds us that we are deeply loved and daily sustained not by our performance, but by His unfailing compassion.

*Reflection.*

1. Do you acknowledge God’s mercy in your daily life?

2. How does His mercy affect the way you treat others?

3. When was the last time you thanked God specifically for His mercy?

*Prayer.*

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unfailing mercy that is new every morning. Help me to live each day conscious of Your mercy, grateful, humble, and full of compassion for others. Let Your mercy shape my heart and guide my steps, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

*God Bless You.*
