CHAPTER 1 SUMMARY

January 1: The Christian Life is About God

Scan to Download
The essence of the Christian faith revolves around God’s
glory and purpose, not our self-centered desires. Our struggle
stems from forgetting this foundational truth. Living to
glorify God should shape every aspect of life, not just the
spiritual or religious moments. Acknowledging our inability
to live for God's glory opens the door to experiencing His
grace through Jesus Christ.

January 2: True Rest in God’s Sovereignty

Rest doesn't come from understanding life’s complexities but

from trusting God, who controls everything for our good.
Acknowledging this allows us to find peace amidst life's
mysteries, as highlighted in Psalm 62.

January 3: Embrace Eternal Perspective

The Bible pushes us to live with eternity in mind, avoiding

the pitfalls of momentary desires or worries. Recognizing
that our lives are tied to God's eternal purpose provides the
necessary grace to remain focused on what truly matters.

January 4: Understanding Life’s Mysteries

Even the best theology can't eliminate life's mysteries; true
peace comes from trusting God, who sees all and understands
our struggles. He is never surprised by our challenges and
holds all mysteries in His hands.

January 5: Righteousness Through Christ

Acceptance by God isn’t based on our works, but solely on

Christ's righteousness. No amount of good deeds can justify
us; understanding this profound truth brings freedom and
peace.

January 6: Contentment in Grace

Being content involves acknowledging the abundance of

God's grace rather than focusing on what we lack. True
contentment leads to a joyful life centered around worship
and gratitude.

January 7: The Necessity of the Holy Spirit

Every believer needs the Holy Spirit to guide and empower

them in their Christian journey. Our struggles with sin

Faith isn’t natural; doubt, fear, and self-reliance are. God’s

grace equips us to believe and live in faith, transforming us

Fear arises from forgetting God’s sovereignty and power.

Like Hezekiah reminded his people, true courage comes from

grace helps combat complaints and cultivates thankfulness
amidst challenges.

others. Christ’s righteousness grants us peace and eases our

January 12: God's Endurance Inspires Our Faith

Our hope lies in God’s enduring faithfulness. While our

resolve may waver, God’s commitment to us never falters,
supporting us through every challenge.

January 13: God’s Faithfulness in Our

Unfaithfulness

Even when we falter, God’s faithfulness remains. His

character guarantees that He will be good and just, providing
grace when we fall short.

January 14: Hope in God’s Control

Life’s chaos is not a sign of abandonment; God is in control.

Trusting His governance provides peace even when
circumstances seem overwhelming.

face our faults with hope.

shifting our perspective from feeling helpless to trusting in
His sovereignty.

January 18: Understanding Present and Future

Grace

Christ's work encompasses our past, present, and future,

granting us everything we need to thrive today. We should
focus on His present grace in our lives.

January 19: Cultivating a Graceful Heart

Scan to Download
Forgiving others stems from recognizing our own need for
grace. When we forget our need for mercy, we struggle to
extend it to others.

them. Continuous grace is needed to keep God at the center.

January 23: Jesus is Our Hope

rather than fleeting experiences.

January 24: Living in God’s Kingdom

God invites us into His kingdom, offering peace and hope

beyond our personal endeavors. Trusting His plan alleviates
the pressure of self-rule.

to poor understanding and interactions. Emphasizing love

greater will.

January 29: True Satisfaction from the Creator

Earthly creations cannot satisfy our hearts; only the Creator

can fulfill our deep longings, leading us to worship Him
rather than His creations.

January 30: Grace Amidst Our Unrighteousness

God's grace reveals the depth of our sin, and in understanding

both, we learn the beauty of Christ’s redeeming work on our
behalf.

January 31: Our Identity as God's Children

Just as David faced Goliath in confidence, we too can

approach challenges knowing our identity and strength as
children of God, empowered by His presence.

Scan to Download
Critical Thinking
Key Point:The centrality of God in the Christian
narrative emphasizes the importance of shifting
focus away from self.
Critical Interpretation:Tripp asserts that our lives should
revolve around glorifying God, rather than being
consumed by personal ambitions or desires. While many
may resonate with this notion, it's important to consider
alternative theological perspectives which argue for a
more balanced approach that recognizes human
experience and psychology as pivotal to spiritual
growth. For instance, feminist theology or liberation
theology might emphasize social contexts and the
humanity of individuals over the strict glorification of
God, suggesting a broader dialogue on what it means to
live a faithful life. Exploring these avenues can provide
a more nuanced understanding of personal purpose
within the Christian framework. Such perspectives can
be found in works like 'The Gospel of Mary' by Karen
L. King or 'A Theology of Liberation' by Gustavo
Gutiérrez.

hope.

heart change. It’s only through grace that true transformation
occurs.

Critical Thinking
Key Point:The Essence of Prayer
Critical Interpretation:The chapter emphasizes that
prayer should transcend mere requests, focusing on
surrendering to God's will and glorifying Him. While
this perspective encourages deepening one’s
relationship with God, it is essential to recognize that
people’s experiences with prayer vary widely. Some
may find personal, specific requests to be a valuable
expression of their faith and connection with God. This
highlights the importance of considering diverse
interpretations of prayer and seeking a balance between
glorifying God and addressing personal needs (Sources:
Peterson, E. H. "The Message," and Campbell, James.
"The Power of Prayer").

Mercies" by Paul David Tripp

OCTOBER 1

God’s often violent care aims to rescue us from harmful

behaviors and replace them with what is beneficial.
Understanding God’s grace often includes recognizing that it
might manifest as challenges rather than comfort. The
Israelites’ history illustrates this cycle of seeking relief while
returning to sin, contrasting what we often ask for with what
we truly need.

OCTOBER 2

Minimizing sin in ourselves while overestimating it in others

is a common human tendency. Recognizing our own spiritual
need is crucial to embracing grace. Acknowledging both our
sin and the glory of grace should encourage transformative
actions rather than guilt.

Critical Thinking
Key Point:Understanding God's Grace as a Form of
Challenge
Critical Interpretation:One significant point emphasized
in Chapter 10 of 'New Morning Mercies' is the concept
that God's grace may often present itself as challenges
rather than comfort. This perspective invites readers to
reconsider their conventional understanding of grace,
which typically emphasizes ease and consolation. Tripp
suggests that the authentic experience of grace includes
hardships which aim to realign our behaviors towards
Godly living, much like the Israelites' cyclical failures
illustrate. While this view provides a profound spiritual
insight, it may provoke debate among readers who argue
that grace should inherently lead to peace and comfort,
as seen in theological discussions by authors such as
Philip Yancey in 'What's So Amazing About Grace?'
who argues for the unconditional, unearned aspect of
grace. Thus, while Tripp's insights can enrich one's
spiritual journey, it is essential to critically evaluate the
balance between challenge and comfort within the
context of grace.

Chapter 11 Summary : November

Summary of Chapter 11 from "New Morning

Mercies" by Paul David Tripp

November 1: The Nature of God's Discipline

God disciplines His children not as punishment but as an

expression of love. Our sins have been paid for by Christ,
and His discipline aims to transform us into righteous
individuals. Understanding justification helps us to embrace
the discipline and correction of sanctification without fearing
rejection.

November 2: The Cross as Hope

The cross of Christ symbolizes hope and redemption, not

failure. It reveals the paradox of grace: death leading to life,
weakness to strength, and sorrow to joy. It encourages us to
celebrate our salvation and find confidence in Christ's victory
over sin.

November 3: Measuring Capability

We often assess our capabilities based on past successes or

failures. However, true measure lies in the grace of Christ,
which offers a new identity and boundless potential, enabling
us to face life's challenges.

November 4: Overcoming Loneliness

Though we may feel alone in our struggles, God’s presence

ensures we are never truly isolated. Grace reconciles us with
God and others, affirming our belonging in His family

November 5: The Search for Salvation

Turning to earthly things for fulfillment leads to

disappointment. Only Christ, the true Messiah, can meet our
deepest needs, and we must avoid making idols of created
things.

November 6: Kingdoms in Conflict

Our self-centered desires clash with God's kingdom

purposes. Grace invites us to surrender our small kingdoms
in exchange for participation in God’s greater glory.

November 7: Power to Say No

Through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to deny selfish

impulses and live according to God’s will. Our strength to
resist temptation comes from His presence within us.

November 8: Sovereignty in Uncertainty

Chapter 12 Summary of "New Morning Mercies"

by Paul David Tripp

DECEMBER 1: The Source of Hope

to seek satisfaction within creation, only the Creator can
fulfill our deepest longings.

is unwavering in his commitment to perfect us and renew all
things.

DECEMBER 3: The Purpose of Corporate Worship

Worship is a reminder that life is not centered on our

will.

Our purpose is to glorify God in every aspect of our lives.

Understanding this leads to true fulfillment and satisfaction,
steering us away from pursuits that are ultimately empty.

on material desires.
