A FRESH 24

Lamentations 3:22-24
"Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”


I love the way Steven Furticks mind works.  He is inspired by the Holy Spirit through many different ways, and this time through an NBA basketball game.  So he is watching this NBA game while studying for a sermon  (ok who does that?) anyway, there was a time where the basketball was shot at the last second before the shot clock expired, and the offensive team got the rebound, and the announcer says... "they have a fresh 24"  Meaning that they get a new 24 sec on the shot clock before they have to take a shot.  How cool that we can look at this piece of scripture and say that Gods gives us a FRESH 24 hours each and every day!  Each day we wake up, and confess our sins to him, and His Grace and Mercy washes over us and cleanses us and gives us a FRESH 24!   WOW!! We serve an AWESOME God and He is worthy to be praised!!
