We often say or pray over others for "traveling mercies," but what does that really mean? Genesis 23 tells of how Abraham required traveling mercies from the people of Hebron because he didn't own land and required a grave site for his wife Sarah. So too when we are in situations where we don't have a home base or we are living on the road, we require mercy from those we encounter on our path so we can do tasks we normally take care of ourselves, but our transient life leaves us unable to do.
