It's funny how a song will get into your mind...and replay itself to the point of where it is almost audible.This morning I am hearing these words ringing through my mind.
"A thousand times I've failed, still your mercy remains.."

He seems to remind us that regardless of us...HE is still Who He is!!
Sometimes, I feel like a walking disaster..I'm unfocused and distracted and wandering through my days..Other days are quite the opposite....when much has been accomplished and I have that sense of ease, in a day well spent.
The days of purpose..more often than not, begin with a time of purposeful prayer.
This IS a discipline,.....my flesh often rallies against even a few moments with Him.
In Acts 2:42, Paul speaks about the devotion and discipline of the early church..
"And 'they' devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer"
They, meaning the church
The 'church' meaning me and you...(you are part of His family, and can rightly be called church when you surrender your life to Him in sweet obedience)
The 4th hallmark in this list is prayer, (aka; calling out to Christ). Prayer is absolutely essential in recognizing His mercy. Prayer rallies our spirit to fight the flesh!!!
Regardless, of where we are, His mercy remains...Just like the early believers we too,.. must choose to be devoted'..
When we cry out to Him..He wraps His loving arms around us and sets us on solid ground, careful to gently face us in the direction we need to be facing..
Daily choose... to set a course of discipline for your life...His mercy remains...
