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
The next string I will touch has sweet
If we have been kept from falling into
"Having obtained help from GOD,
I continue to this day." (Acts 26:22)
"Great are YOUR tender mercies, O LORD!"
Psalm 119:156
(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,
I 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
