His Mercy Endures Forever

Dear Ladies,

The girls and I are reading through the book of Psalms for our daily devotion time in the morning.  We just completed Psalm 136 today which resoundingly calls out "Give thanks to the Lord, For His mercy endures forever."

Psalm 136

    Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.  His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods.  His love endures forever.  Give thanks to the Lord of lords:  His love endures forever.  to him who alone does great wonders,  His love endures forever.  who by his understanding made the heavens,
       His love endures forever.  who spread out the earth upon the waters,  His love endures forever.  who made the great lights— His love endures forever.  the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever  the moon and stars to govern the night;  His love endures forever. to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt   His love endures forever.  and brought Israel out from among them  His love endures forever. with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;  His love endures forever.  to him who divided the Red Sea  asunder  His love endures forever. and brought Israel through the midst of it,  His love endures forever.  but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;  His love endures forever.  to him who led his people through the desert,  His love endures forever. who struck down great kings,  His love endures forever. and killed mighty kings—   His love endures forever.  Sihon king of the Amorites
       His love endures forever. and Og king of Bashan— His love endures forever.and gave their land as an inheritance,   His love endures forever. an inheritance to his servant Israel;
       His love endures forever. to the One who remembered us in our low estate
       His love endures forever. and freed us from our enemies,  His love endures forever. and who gives food to every creature.  His love endures forever.  Give thanks to the God of heaven.
       His love endures forever.

So I challenge you to make a list, be it long or short of all the things that you are thankful for.  Here is my list, not even close to being exhaustive:

My salvation

My husband

My children

My home and personal belongings

The world around me

My friends and immediate family

Our country and our leaders

A newborn baby asleep in my arms

My Bible

The smell of fresh flowers

The new fallen snow, untouched by human feet

Listening to the rain

The quiet, peaceful moments in my home when all the children are asleep

My one on one time with the Lord

What does your list look like?

Blessings,
Michelle
