Today our local church body grieves with one of our dear families as they taste sudden and deep sorrow. Tonight, I count God's mercies as a discipline... looking for His fingerprint, remembering that He is righteous and loving in all His ways, reminding myself that His mercies are new every morning. Oh, that He will give us eyes to see His mercy in tribulation and then lips to sing His praise.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
from O Worship the King by Robert Grant, 1833
