Enduring Mercy – 1 Chronicles 16:34

1 Chronicles 16:34 – O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. We take so many things for granted. Sunshine, clean air, water, food, shelter, and clothing are just a few things many of us just assume we will have in abundance everyday. I for one have […]
