Characteristics Of God's Mercy
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Isa 55:3KJV
There are some certain qualities that characterize the mercy of God. Knowing these qualities will help you to appreciate the potent power mercy carries and why you keep invoking it as a covering over your life. First among such defining characteristics of mercy is that, God's mercy is sure. Our anchor text for today reveals this. Nothing is as sure as the mercy of God. This means that it is certain. The Bible says further in our anchor scripture that the covenant of mercy is an everlasting covenant, that is, it cannot be revoked.
Likewise, Lamentation 3:22 says God's mercy fails not; they are new every morning. So if every other thing fails be rest assured that the mercy of God is forever sure and can never fail. In fact, for every new day God renews His mercy over His children. Your faith may fail, your strength may fail, even your friends may fail but the mercy of God can never fail.
In addition, Psalms 136:1 says the Lord is good and His mercy endureth forever. This is another attribute of God's mercy. It's an enduring force. Mercy is not seasonal, it endures forever and is available to anyone who asks for it. Nothing is as enduring as the mercy of God. You can always trust in God for His mercies because it endures forever. In as much as there is God then there is mercy.
Lastly, in 1 Kings 3:6 the Bible says the mercy of God is great. Isn't this amazing. When God shows you mercy the Bible reveals the magnitude of it towards you – great. So it doesn't matter how overwhelming the challenges of life may seem, don't be daunted by it, cry to God for His mercy. I can assure you His mercy is far greater than that opposition facing you right now. Even if it was your mistake that landed you in trouble, still cry to Him for His mercy. He will never turn you down and He will reach out to you in that situation and rescue you for His mercy sake.
Beloved, if you're not sure of anything, know that God's mercy is sure; if every other thing you know to do has failed, know that God's mercy can never fail; no matter how long the challenge has lingered, know that God's mercies will endure much longer; and no matter how big the mountain facing you, know that God's mercy towards you is even greater. All you have to do is cry to Him for His mercies and He will answer you speedily.
PRAYERS
I thank You Heavenly Father for Your mercy is sure, great, and it endures forever. I ask for a fresh shower of Your mercies over me and my family today and always in Jesus Name.
KEEP IN MIND
God's mercy is sure, it's great, it endures and it never fails.
