FAITH CAPSULE: More than ever before, plead for the mercy of God.

Isaiah 43

Understand that you are pleading for the mercy of God.
The world is getting wicked.
God is the perfect creator of all.
All should understand God to know God, not just know about God.
One who lacks understanding of God will not know how to provoke God to gain His attention at every point of need.
For example, to gain the mercy of God will set one to live as an overcomer in the wicked world.
With understanding, to gain the mercy of God will make one live for the glory of God.
The ways of God in place to engage the mercy of God are not to perish.
Not to perish is to have knowledge.
One who does not understand God will not have the knowledge not to perish.
Hosea 4:6 records the warning signal, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Job understood God and knew to plead for God’s mercy.
Job did not live a life of sin before God, but understood and knew to plead with God for mercy.
With understanding, know that God is a caring God who waits to act for those who wait on Him. (Isaiah 64:4)
Waiting on God is to remind God concerning His work, to attain His mercy.
Isaiah 43:26 records the saying of God,“Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”
God said, “And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.” (Isaiah 45:11)
Evidently, with understanding, seek God to gain His mercy.
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.
Do you understand God to be holding on Him by His word?
With faith, not doubt, understand God, know Him (not just quoting His word)
With understanding, one is bound to remind God takes the position to gain the presence of God.
God is not talkative like man; God remembers His word, not that He forgets.
Pleading for the mercy of God should be a signature tune for all, as in meditating prayerfully before God to gain His merciful non-stop in a wicked world.

Prayer for today: Prayerfully meditate asking for the mercy of God.
