Gloria Copeland — Reason For Worship

Gloria Copeland

Mercy is the reason we worship God. It motivates us to
walk holy before Him and gives us confidence that we can
come before Him without fear. We can rest in knowing that
the mercy of God is greater and stronger than anything
else. It has unlimited endurance. Psalm 136 declares this:

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his
mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the
God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give
thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth
for ever. To him who alone doeth great wonders:
for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that by
wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth
for ever. To him that stretched out the earth above
the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him
that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for
ever: the sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth
for ever: the moon and stars to rule by night: for his
mercy endureth for ever. To him that smote Egypt
in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
and brought out Israel from among them: for his
mercy endureth for ever: with a strong hand, and
with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for
ever. To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for
his mercy endureth for ever: and made Israel to pass
through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for
ever: but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red
sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him which
led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy
endureth for ever. To him which smote great kings:
for his mercy endureth for ever: and slew famous
kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: Sihon king
of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:
and Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth
for ever: and gave their land for an heritage: for his
mercy endureth for ever: even an heritage unto
Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever:
who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy
endureth for ever: and hath redeemed us from our
enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who
giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for
ever. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his
mercy endureth for ever.

Looking at this you can see that each work of God is
covered by His mercy. And, among the things that the
mercy of God put into operation are wonders, wisdom and
His creative power.
