"Because Of The LORD'S Great Love We Are Not Consumed."

Every-day mercies!
(Archibald Brown)

"Because of the LORD'S great love 
we are 
not consumed, for HIS compassions never fail. 
They are new every morning; great is YOUR 
faithfulness!" Lamentations 3:22-23

Let us seek, dear friends, to have quick 
eyes in discerning the LORD'S hand 
in our so-called every-day mercies
The smallest comfort grows great in value, 
when viewed a gift from our heavenly FATHER!

The next string I will touch has sweet 
music of its own, and it should call forth 
the deepest "Thank GOD!" from every bosom. 

It is home mercy. Home! Home!! 

Surely, among all the gifts of Heaven, 
there is none more beautiful, or more 
worthy of our grateful praise--
than a home where kindness, 
love, and cheerfulness abide. 

It has been well said that 
to Adam, Paradise was home--
and to the holy among his 
descendants, home is Paradise. 
He who has a happy home can never 
be poor, or lack a theme for grateful song.

If we have been kept from falling into 
scandalous sin, then with grateful love 
we exclaim, 

"Having obtained help from GOD, 
continue to this day." (Acts 26:22)  

We have been like men carrying 
gunpowder, and working in a forge 
where sparks are flying on every 
hand. With a nature like ours, so 
dangerously quick to sin, and living 
amid a very shower of fiery temptations--
how great the grace that has preserved 
us thus far!

"Great are YOUR tender mercies, O LORD!"
 
Psalm 119:156
