FAITH CAPSULE: Engage living in the fear of God and allow His mercy to be yours.

Exodus 20

The mercy of God is the covenant-keeping God. Mercy belongs to God and He renders mercy unto whom He chooses.
It was God’s mercy that led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. Exodus 15:13 records about God, “You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed…”
Are you in position to receive God’s mercy?
Joseph’s fear of God positioned Him for the mercy of God.
Joseph feared God in his way and God was with him through his challenging journey of life.
The word testified about Joseph, “…the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy…” (Genesis 39:21)   God’s mercy is in any man that walks in the word of God.
God’s mercy is in abundance, God does not run out of mercy but any man with disobedient to His word runs out of His mercy.
Truly, the mercy of God endures forever.
Many giants of faith in the hand of God 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) Evidently, it was not of Moses will but the will of God, in His mercy that kept Moses through in the calling of God over his life.
Do you fear God?
It is understanding to know in the word of God that the fear of the Lord is His treasure.
One with the fear of God will answer as God’s treasure.
Luke 1:50 testifies, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.”
Who are the ones who fear Him?
To fear God is living by His word.
God planted fear in the heart of man. Ones who fear God are the ones He has drawn unto Himself. (John 6:44)
David was drawn to God and he was chosen by God.
The Bible records 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 any man to Himself for His mercy.
Do you fear God? To fear God is to love God.
God will not cease from showing 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 yours.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His hand to come upon you for living life to fear Him.
