FAITH CAPSULE: The abundance of God never runs out. 

Exodus 20

It was with mercy that God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years.
Just as power belongs unto God, mercy also belongs to God. 
Mercy, meaning loyal love, is the conventional love of the covenant-keeping God. 
Only God renders mercy unto whom He chooses to render mercy. 
It was with mercy that God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. Exodus 15:13 records, “You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed…”  
Joseph feared God, and God was with him through his entire ordeal. 
The word testifies about Joseph, “…the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy…” (Genesis 39:21) 
Today, God still renders mercy and power as He was rendering it in the Old Testament through to the New Testament. 
The mercy of God is in abundance that never runs out.
Also, His mercy endures forever. 
Many giants of faith operated under the power and mercy of God. 
God spoke to Moses, “For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.” (Romans 9:15-16) 
The ‘whomever’ that God is talking about is throughout the Bible, as in the book of Luke 1:50, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.” 
Who are the ones who fear Him? 
Those who have received, believe and behave the word of God. 
Those who fear God are His people whose hearts He plants His fear so they do not turn away from Him. (Jeremiah 32:40) This is to say that the ones who fear Him are those He has drawn unto Himself. (John 6:44) They are the ones He has chosen for Himself. 
The ones He chose for Himself are the ones He provided to Himself as a provision for His divine assignment.
The Bible recorded about David, “Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.” (1 Samuel 16:1) 
God is not a partial God, and He is still in the business of drawing His children, but only those who do not withdraw but position themselves in line for His undeniable power and mercy.
Do you fear God? 
To fear God is to love God. 
God will not cease to show mercy to those who love Him and keep His commandments. (Exodus 20:6) Engage living in the fear of God and allow His mercy to be you.

Prayer for today:  Ask God not to withhold His tender mercy from you.
