FAITH CAPSULE: The mercy of God means God is compassionate and kind with forbearance.
Psalm 92
The beginning of a day or month demands unfailing thankfulness to God.
Psalm 92:1-2 identifies praising and thanking, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High.”
Understanding, giving thanks, and praising God is giving regard to God at all times.
When understanding backs up conviction, it delivers an undeniable miracle.
Thank Him for His mercy.
Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, the mercy of God has been consistent in seeing you this far, not to become a victim of the wicked world.
The mercy of God means God is compassionate and kind with forbearance.
Understand, know how to walk in the word of God, and be enabled by God, not to run out of His mercy.
In the given days that you have by the breath of life, understand and know to live life to attain the mercy of God, as the Bible records His word.
God alone will have mercy on whom He chooses to, but He will also have mercy on one who lives by His command.
God is a good God, He will not turn not to have mercy for one doing it right according to His word.
One that live align with the word of God and loves Him will not miss out of the mercy of God.
The mercy of God is attainable when the life one is living aligns with the word of God:
One living life by the word of God takes the position to receive the mercy of God.
For example, Joseph lived according to the word of God.
He ignored the temptation to violate the word of God and not to fail before God (Genesis 39:7-15).
In one instance, he denied the offer to sleep with the wife of his master by claiming: “…How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” (Genesis 39:9)
Joseph reacted against the temptation of the wife of his master to experience the mercy of God as the Bible mentions, “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor…” (Genesis 39:21).
The mercy of God is attainable when one loves God:
Obedience to God is evidence of love for God that will always provoke the mercy of God.
The Bible records that loving God is keeping His commandments (John 14:15).
To understand and know God is to love God and to fear God.
The story of Joseph points out that Joseph kept the commandment of God by forbidding adultery when he fled from sleeping with the wife of his master.
Joseph obeys, loves, and fears God, and he gained the mercy of God. From this moment, live consistently by the word of God.
Attain the unfailing mercy of God.
Prayer for today: Ask that Understand, know how to walk in the word of God, and be enabled by God, not to run out of His mercy.
