Every mercy we receive from God should obligate us to walk closer to him. – M. Henry
In his prayer, the tax collector desired nothing of God except His mercy. AMEN!
We serve a God who is gracious by nature. He says “ask and it shall be given you.” He bestows blessing upon blessing upon us and in our lives, and by nature most of us are thankful for His benevolence. Yes, asked blessings we take note of, but we seldom reflect on His mercies. At our best, we’re imperfect self-centered beings putting ourselves on God’s throne (our heart). He has the right to destroy us, but yet He shows great patience. Its true, grace has saved us, but His mercies sustain us, otherwise we would be “consumed” by His wrath and life would be unbearable. As we enter today with its situations, as mercy is extended, be thankful and let it pass to others.
Until tomorrow…..

“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy…He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” – Psalm 103:8,10
