FAITH CAPSULE: About the mercy of God is to know God, to fear Him.
Psalm 136
Day after days, week after weeks, month after months, year after years, the mercy of God has been consistent to see you this far, not to become a victim of the wicked world.
Just as power belongs unto God, mercy belongs to God.
The mercy of God means God is compassionate and kind.
The mercy of God is with forbearance that does not runs out.
The mercy of God is His loyal love; it is the conventional love of the covenant-keeping God.
The mercy of God is no man’s merit but the goodness of God.
Only God that is in the position to render mercy unto all, unfailingly.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT GOD’S MERCY?
About the mercy of God is to know God, to fear Him.
Luke 1:50 admonishes, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.”
According to the word of God, with the fear of God, mercy will become obtainable from God.
Why not desire and allow the fear of God to reign and rule your life?
Understanding and knowing to fear God will lead to the love of God by obeying His word.
Deuteronomy 7:9 testifies, “Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.”
With fear for God, mercy will become one’s portion and to live a life of testimony to the merciful of God.
About the Mercy of God is His abundant.
The book of Numbers 14:18 says, “The Lord is long-suffering and abundant in mercy…” God does not run out of mercy but it is a man that runs out of His mercy.
Are you living outside of God’s word while expecting His mercy to be in place for you?
Understand and know God that His mercy is abundant, sufficient but never becomes insufficient for those who fear Him.
Fear and obey God, live life for God to obtain His mercy continually.
About the mercy of God is His endurance forever.
“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (1 Chronicle 16:34) The everlasting God exists in His mercy.
The mercy of God satisfies in all areas of life. The Psalmist records in Psalm 90:14, “Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” Having satisfaction in God’s mercy is to have joy and gladness.
Proverbs 20:28 says, “Mercy and truth preserve the king…” The Mercy of God will not preserve only the king but all that live life with the fear of God.
Give regard to God, disregard all which denies a man from the mercy of God. Jonah 2:8 “Those who regard worthless idols forsake their own Mercy” Disregard idol, to receive God’s mercy.
Now, be consistent to live life by the word of God to attain the unfailing mercy of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God for His mercy to give heed to the challenges of your life.
