Mercy and Grace!!
I just finished reading Psalms 136:1-26 and every verse, twenty-six times, reminds us that God’s mercy endureth forever!
What an awesome promise and reminder to us. That we serve a merciful God. A God who cares, who loves us and who also deals with us with mercy and grace!
That His hearts desire is to bring us back into fellowship and communion with Him. To be one with Him, to a place of hearing that still quiet voice, that prompting within, that says:
“That’s ok my son, my daughter. I know that which you are going through. I know what it feels like to be abandoned but I also know what it is to have fellowship with my children and in my mercy I am bringing them back to me. Not to just know about me, but to know me, to know my heart, my desires and my love.”
The Lord so wants to show us His mercy and grace and He wants us to know His presence in our daily life. That we can truly walk with Him!
I know that it is only as we daily come into His presence, as we read His word, as we allow it to become part of us. Then changes begin within and we begin to walk little by little, focused on Him.
That in serving Him, we are made free. As we give Him all the burdens, the load of guilt and shame, the failures, the wounds and as we lay them at His feet He says to us to rise up and walk, walk in the new life that I have given you, for I am setting you free from the crippling effects of those things that you have carried to long.
He is saying to us this day. Rise up and be strong in the new life that I have given you. For indeed, you are a new creation and you are being conformed to me. Put on the full armour, put on the mind of Christ and walk this day, each day with me.
This is indeed a new day, a new beginning, a fresh start, let us walk together in the ways of the Lord and let the light of His presence be seen in us as we walk in His mercy and grace!
Till later,
Paul
