#323: "New Today" by Micah Tyler

Send us Fan Mail

God is unlimited in His resources. I know this in my head, but for some reason I believe the lie that He will limit His mercy to me. As if one day I will reach my limit and get cut off. Micah Tyler in his song "New Today" reminds us of the truth found in Scripture -- His mercies are new every morning.

   

Let's explore the steadfast love of the Lord in Lamentations this week.

On this week's episode I discuss:

• Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
  • Read in context
  • Consider the historical context
  • Read the introduction in a study Bible or other type resource
  • Follow the cross references
  • Meditate on what you're reading
• The 30 Day Music Challenge - SIGN UP HERE
• How I was inspired to head over to Lamentations by the lyrics of the song - Lamentations 3:22-23
• Reading all of Lamentations in one sitting and feeling a little confused
• Discovering the literary style of the book is poetry and the chapter I was studying is a stand-alone acrostic poem
• Exploring the historical narrative behind what the poet is lamenting about in 2 Kings 24-25
• How sometimes our view of God gets distorted in our sorrow
• The value of putting our sorrows into words, and then lifting our eyes to the Father
• Discovering that if you know how to worry, you know how to meditate
• How God doesn't have a limited supply of mercy
• The elements in the poem that will help us process our own laments
