God's Common Mercies Cotton Mather
The very air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat,
the sleep we enjoy, the clothes that cover us, the houses that
shelter us—all of these are God's common mercies to us. Thomas Vincent The common mercies
of life are a means of teaching us to be humble and to acknowledge
our dependence on God. Thomas Watson. Every crumb of
bread that we eat is the gift of God's bounty. Jeremiah Burroughs. The smallest
drop of God's mercy is more than we deserve. William Guernal. We are debtors
for every hour we enjoy, every meal we taste, every breath we
take. Thomas Shepard. Every mercy we
enjoy is a drop from the fountain of God's goodness. John Flavel. The mercies of God
come streaming down every day, new mercies for new needs. Thomas Manton. The least mercy
is not to be despised, for it is a gift from God's hand. Charles Spurgeon Let us praise
God for His common mercies, for they prove to be uncommonly precious
when once they are taken away. The common joys of this life
which God blesses us with ought to make us increase in gratitude
and ought to be a sufficient motive for the very highest form
of consecration. What shall I render unto the
Lord for all His benefits to me? Psalm 116, verse 12. Praise the Lord, O my soul, with
all that is within me, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord,
O my soul, may I never forget the good things He does for me.
Psalm 103, verses 1 and 2.
