"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 'The LORD is my portion,' says my soul, 'therefore I hope in Him!'" (Lam. 3:22-24)

While studying the book of Exodus, a Bible teacher was asked by one of the students, "Why didn't the Lord furnish enough manna to Israel for a year all at one time?" The teacher answered, "Once there was a king who had a son to whom he gave a yearly allowance, paying him the entire sum on the fixed date. It soon happened that the day on which the allowance was due was the only day of the year when the father saw his son. So the king changed his plan and gave his son day-by-day that which was sufficient for the day; and then the son visited his father every morning."

We need our heavenly Father's unbroken love, companionship, and mercy. As the Psalmist said, "Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily." (Psalm 86:3) Again, "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!" (Psalm 68:19)
