Old Blessings Are Still New

Old blessings are still new
For over and over the Lord’s mercies renew (Lamentations 3:22)
The things I prayed for years ago are still needed today
Yet, for so many new things I have to pray
New illnesses, deaths in families, and on and on
I would be overwhelmed with a prayer list so long
But the Lord is so full of mercy
He knows my limitations, and renews old blessings constantly

Yet, my thanks and praises to him have not been consistent
I tend to thank Him for the blessings that are recent
However, the old blessings are still very much relevant
And, them I never want to forget or take for granted
So, every now and then, I make time to meditate and reflect
How difficult life would be if I had to deal with both new and old things
So, from the bottom of my heart I thank God
That His mercies renew and old blessings are still new.

Let Your Word And Spirit Ignite Me

To spread like fire the works of your great majesty
You can bring light like the fire in the night
To do away with the darkness in life

The warmth from your heart exceeds any fire’s temperature
As your tender hearted mercies constantly cares for us
For all You do and all You are, I can describe only a part
So let it spread like fire from a spark.
