FAITH CAPSULE: To faith in God will have hope.

Psalm 9

One that trust God is with faith in God.
The word of God promises one with trust and hope will gain the blessing of God.
Jeremiah 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.
The mercy of God is attainable when one trusts God.” 
It is a blessing to gain the mercy of God.The Psalmist declared, “But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation” (Psalm 13:5).
Trusting in hope positions one to gain the mercy of God.
Trusting God is an avenue to receive from God.
Trusting God is looking up to God with no doubt.
Looking up to God with an open heart, one will locate God for His mercy. 
Luke 17:13 records,“And they lifted up their voices and said, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 
God is merciful. He does not run out of mercy for one who knows to trust and lift their voice to Him.
The mercy of God is attainable when one asks or pleads for His mercy:
God identified Job as a man with none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and shuns evil.
In life, nothing qualifies anyone not to plead for the mercy of God when challenges take place.
No one is above asking God to gain His mercy. 
Despite the stand of Job before God, he knows to plead for mercy before God: “For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge” (Job 9:15). 
Job pleaded for mercy. He is with the integrity of the heart before God, which does not excuse him from pleading to attain the mercy of God.
Just like Job, the Psalmist had to plead for the mercy of God, “Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death.” (Psalm 9:13). 
Nothing qualifies anyone not to plead for mercy before God.
The mercy of God is attainable when one asks for forgiveness.
With repentance, one who asks before God for forgiveness will receive the mercy of God. The Bible records, “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You” (Psalm 86:5).
God is good and merciful; no iota of evil can deny the mercy of God that is in place for one with the understanding of repentance that calls for the forgiveness of God.
One with repentance and confession, forgiveness is a sure way to gain the mercy of God, as it is glaring in the pages of the Bible. 
The Bible encourages, “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13). 
God is merciful, and God will respond with mercy for one who trusts and knows how to ask for forgiveness.
What is denying the mercy of God in your life?
