Excerpt taken from OUR DAILY HOMILY by F. B. Meyer

"His mercy endureth for ever." Psalm 136:26

"TWENTY-SIX times in this Psalm we are told that God's mercy endureth for ever. The psalmist had been reviewing the history of the past. As far back as the Creation his eye had traveled, and all through the stormy, troublous days he could detect the silver thread of mercy. Oh that we had his eyes to see always the love of God! Amid the murky gloom of chaos there is a silver gleam; it is his mercy. When sun and moon appear, there is a brighter light than theirs; it is his mercy. Above the roar of the Red Sea and the rattle of the thunder-storms, are the flute-like notes of his mercy. Through all the strife and horror of the conquest of Canaan there glides the white-robed angel of his mercy. Deeper than the darkest shades of sin, higher than the highest floods of transgression, is the love of God, in the hand of which the round world and all its inhabitants lie, as a drop on the palm. Look back on your life, and say whether you cannot see the thread of mercy linking all its beads.

"A debtor to mercy alone,
Of covenant mercy we sing."

And do you suppose that such mercy is going to fail you? It endureth for ever! You fret and chafe like a restless little child; but you cannot fall out of the arms of God's mercy. Lie still, it canopies you like a mother's face; it breathes about you as a mother's embrace. O love that will not let us go! O mercy that hath neither beginning nor end! O God, who hast loved, who lovest, and who wilt love, when the sun is no more, and the things that are now shall have passed away as a dream! O grace of God, exceeding in thy abundance the highest mountains of our sin!"

Greetings all,

As you may have noticed there was no reading assignment posted last week. I had the privilege of spending most of last week at youth camp with some precious brothers and sisters in Christ. Unfortunately there was no internet access and I had forgotten to update the reading assignment before I left. So, we'll pick up where we left off. If you were a bit behind perhaps this gave you a chance to catch up a bit.

Blessings all,
