"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV)
Rivers of mercy run fully and constantly, but never run dry. No; they are new every morning; every morning we have fresh instances of God's compassion towards us; he visits us with them every morning (Job 7:18); every morning does he bring his judgment to light, Zep. 3:5. When our comforts fail, yet God's compassions do not.
– Matthew Henry, Commentary

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."
(1 John 4:16 KJV)
Will you honour God by believing that he is able to save you through the blood of Christ, for if the Lord now enables you to honour him in believing, depend upon it, he has begun a good work in you and has set his heart upon you. Sinners, believe that God is love. O trust him who gave his Son to die.
– Spurgeon, A Psalm of Rememberance

"Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite."
(Psalm 147:5 NKJV)
The stars are innumerable, many of them being scarcely discernible with the naked eye, and yet he counts them, and knows the exact number of them, for they are all the work of his hands and the instruments of his providence... He mentions this as one instance of many, to show that great is our Lord and of great power (he can do what he pleases), and of his understanding there is no computation so that he can contrive every thing for the best.
– Matthew Henry, Commentary
Original Reference
"But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed."
(Isaiah 53:5 ESV)
The King of all kings bore all of our mournful grievances and sorrows, and was afflicted for our evil transgressions. Though He was blameless and holy, Christ was beaten and crucified for our individual well-beings. Yet three days later, Christ resurrected and declared victory over all sin and death! Death has lost its sting and the evil one has been crushed for eternity. The blood of Christ has healed our iniquities and has given us abounding grace, peace, and a tremendous hope.

"There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God."
(1 Samuel 2:2 NIV)
This song records the worship Hannah offered on the very day she left her little boy – her only child – at the tabernacle, never for him to live in her home again…Notice, that she rejoices in the Lord. She can't rejoice in leaving her son but she can rejoice in the Lord. In the most desperate situations, when we have nothing else to rejoice in, we can rejoice in the Lord.

– Daily Promises, August 12th

"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!"
(Romans 11:33 NASB)
Paul was as well acquainted with the mysteries of the kingdom of God as ever any mere man was; and yet he confesses himself at a loss in the contemplation, and, despairing to find the bottom, he humbly sits down at the brink, and adores the depth.
– Matthew Henry, Commentary
Original Reference
"And to Him was given dominion, glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed."
(Daniel 7:14 NASB)
Jesus can be Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace for everyone now. One day, these offices will be imposed upon the world. For now, they are real for those who receive Jesus and submit to Him.
– David Guzik, Study Guide
Original Reference
"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want."
(Psalm 23:1 ESV)
What condescension is this, that the infinite Lord assumes towards his people the office and character of a Shepherd! It should be the subject of grateful admiration that the great God allows himself to be compared to anything which will set forth his great love and care for his own people.
– Spurgeon, Exposition
Original Reference
"Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
(Ephesians 6:17 NIV)
By the actings of faith, we must fetch in grace and help from heaven to enable us to do that which of ourselves we cannot do, in our Christian work and warfare. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
– Mathew Henry, Commentary
Original Reference
"Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people."
(1 Chronicles 16:8 KJV)
To us needy creatures the goodness of God is the first attribute which excites praise, and that praise takes the form of gratitude. We praise the Lord truly when we give him thanks for what we have received from his goodness. Let us never be slow to return unto the Lord our praise; to thank him is the least we can do—let us not neglect it.
– Spurgeon, Psalm 106
Original Reference
"For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
(Luke 2:11 NKJV)
O amazing condescension of the Lord Jesus Christ, to stoop to such low and poor things for our sake. What love is this, what great and wonderful love was here, that the Son of God should come into our world in so mean a condition, to deliver us from the sin and misery in which we were involved by our fall in our first parents!
– Whitefield, The Observation of the Birth of Christ, the Duty of All Christians; or The True Way of Keeping Christmas
