Many of us have grocery lists, to-do lists, cleaning lists, and the list goes on 🙂 Hah! Well, today I thought of coming up with a mercy list: A mercy list is a list of daily events that trace all of itself back to God’s Hand and all for His glory. Isn’t that what we desire most as God’s children to glorify the only LORD God who reigns and rules over all things? The list could never be exhaustive due to our own blindness and distractions towards the unfathomable love of our Father who is in Heaven.
2 Corthinians 10: 31 ESV So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Lamentations 3: 22 & 23 ESV The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
