But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, Ephesians 2:4 God is rich in mercy means “in the multitude of mercy”. He is abundance of mercy. He is so rich in this area that God is willing to impart it to others. Even to those who are dead in their sin. God is ready to forgive us when we are ready to ask for it and to change our way of living. He has so much that he blesses others. He chooses to give us an abundance of his mercy each new day. God has a great love for us. It is above…

Reflection Day
Mercy! God desires it! He wants us to be merciful to others. Take some time today and dig deeper into what mercy is, how we go about it. How we offer it up to others. Pray and ask God for guidance to where you need to offer guidance up to others. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for teaching us about mercy. Show us where in our lives we need to give others mercy. Help us to love mercy as you do. In Jesus Name Amen

God Desire Of Mercy
But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemn the guiltless. Matthew 12:7 Hosea 6: 8 – For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice and the knowledge of God more than Burnt offerings. Micah 6:6-8 – With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, and ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good;…

Have Mercy On Me
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness; your tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Psalm 51:1 Do you carry guilt of sin around with you? Do you feel shame? We all do, I think in my opinion. In this verse, King David had committed adultery. Prophet Nathan came to King David afterwards. David cries to our God for His mercy. God’s tender mercies blot out David’s transgressions. David went through a hardship before his repentance. His child with Bathsheba died. This brought him to ask God to forgive hims of his sins. David asked God to blot out his transgressions, to make his sins erased.…

God’s Heart of Mercy
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the Dayspring from on High has visited us, Luke 1:78 The tender mercy of our God is the heart of God. God gives the miserable and the afflicted mercy, He joined with a desire to help us. God’s mercy towards men is salvation. Here is Zacharias prophesying about John the Baptist ministry. He is talking about God’s mercies through His son Jesus, who will be the light in the dark. Remember Zacharias couldn’t talk until after his son John the Baptist was born. He couldn’t talk all due to his doubt. Through this Zacharias spoke about a pardoning mercy. Zacharias states that…

God is Compassionate and Merciful
Take, my brothers, the prophets, who have spoken in the example of suffering, affliction, and of patience. See, we count as blessed those who endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is very compassionate and merciful. James 5:10-11 To endure trials or afflictions is to be blessed. Job, What a man! Job is known as righteous man. ow he went through trials, affliction, and grief. He endured many things, and he was blessed. Job was patient in his suffering. He is a role model to us on how we should be in our sufferings. Even while Job was going through his…

Mercy Towards Iniquities
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:12 Isn’t God amazing that he will be merciful towards our iniquities! What exactly does iniquities mean? It means wickedness, sinfulness, immorality, or soul. These are some hard words to swallow. This is apart of us before Jesus Christ. Here God is telling us that He will be merciful towards our iniquities, and that he will not remember our sin anymore. How exciting is that! We get to start new because of his mercy he offers to us. Our slate is clean. It is white as snow. Again, this is all due to…

Offer Mercy To Others
Be merciful, as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:36 God is a merciful God. He is a compassionate God. In Ephesians 5:1, it says, “Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children.” God show us mercy every day, throughout the day. Think about everything you do, say and think! Not perfect, Huh? I know I am not perfect. Some days, I am just not functioning well. On these days I have learned not to interact with people because sometimes my mouth doesn’t work with my Brian and I say the wrong thing not meaning too. Boom! I am not given mercy. I get wrath. But let’s…

The Lord’s Mercy
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Psalm 103:8 God is slow to anger!! How wonderful is that? He won’t be quick to chide us on our sins, but waits patiently for us to ask for forgiveness. He waits for our repentance. He wants us to be reconciled with him. God is so, so good to us. He has revealed his mercy and grace to the Israelites, His chosen people. Through them he has revealed this to all of us. We have all experienced God’s mercy. Thank goodness it never ceases or come to an end. We can trust in God that when we…
