"I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us" (Isaiah 63: 7).
Can you do this? Are there mercies which you have experienced? There must surely be some precious milestone along the road of life not quite grown over with moss, on which you can read a happy memorial of His mercy toward you. Have you ever been sick and did He not restore you? Were you ever poor before, and did He not supply your needs? Were you never in trouble before, and did He not deliver you? Do not forget what your God has done for you. Turn over the book of your remembrance and consider the days of old. Have you ever been helped in time of need? I know you have. Go back to the choice mercies of yesterday. Although today's circumstances look dark, light up the lamps of the past. They will glitter through the darkness, and you will trust in the Lord until day breaks and the shadows flee away. "Remember, O Lord, your tender mercies and your lovingkindness, for they have been ever of old."
