God’s Mercy ~ Part Three

Ephesians 2:3 says that before accepting Jesus as our Savior, we “…all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath…” Verse 4 says, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us.” 

We will never use up God’s mercy for us. Lamentations 3:23 says that His mercy is new every morning. When Moses went up to God on the mountain to receive the ten commandments, here is what the Lord said. Exodus 34:6 says, “…The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth.”

In every moment day or night we can boldly approach the Lord’s throne of grace. Hebrews 4:16 says that, “…we may obtain mercy and grace to help in time of need.” What is your need? His mercy is always available to fulfill our need.

Out Of The Dust~Part Two

Psalm 40:2 says, “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.” There is a hymn. In part it says, “I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore. Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more. But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry, from the waters lifted me, now safe am I.”

The Lord is our Rescuer. I have a friend that was just rescued through amazing God-orchestrated circumstances. His testimony could be as Psalm 116. Verse 8-9 says, “For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.”

I am memorizing Psalm 116. Verse 5 says, “Gracious is the Lord and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.” God’s mercy endures forever. Psalm 136.
