Each passage links to the chapter it belongs to.

The passages
“It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.”
Context: Mercy described as a daily supply rather than a monthly allocation.
“My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.”
Context: 'My times are in your hand' — written while surrounded by pressure.
“A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD directs his steps.”
Context: A person plans the way; the steps are directed. Both halves are meant.
“So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Context: Numbering days as a route to wisdom, not to anxiety about time.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.”
Context: Newness described as a settled fact about those in Christ, not a monthly resolution.
