Subtle Mercies

Religion often places the Presence of God within the confines of the sanctuary walls. No one should forsake the gathering together of the saints. Likewise, we should not forsake the daily walk with Jesus to which we are called. The Father wants to speak to us every day. God has not called us to a consumeristic mindset of faith limited to Sunday mornings but to a journey with Him the remaining six days each week. His mercies are new each morning, so we must seek Him. When we do, those mercies will be revealed to us in subtle ways.

These moments are like threads woven together that will eventually become the tapestry of our faith and testimony. Each day's moment with Jesus can pass quickly and become almost unrecognizable amid the busyness of life. However, looking back, we will discover that God has intentionally created a testimony of His mercy and grace through our lives.
