Mercy

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet as without sin.  Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."  Hebrews 4:15-16

Mercy comes in funny forms sometimes.  Like on Wednesday this week when Zachary threw up in my newly cleaned van.  Miraculously and mercifully it all landed on the floor mat, which was easy to take out and clean off.  Does the great Lord in heaven have much larger, pressing issues to deal with than the direction of a 4-year-old's throw up?  Probably so.  But it was 6:30 in the evening, everyone was tired, everyone was hungry, Zachary felt awful.  Whatever my need was in that moment, God's mercy met it.  He who counts every sparrow also knows every hair on my head, and how much more valuable am I than a sparrow?  (Luke 12:6-7).  Nothing is overlooked in God's mercy.

And as such, this was one occasion where this tired mother of four did not have to pull the car over to scream and cry.  This week.....
