Mercy of God

The last post mentions MERCY, does the LORD our God have mercy for everyone? Let's see shall we. How many Christians die of cancer? How many people are slaughtered daily?


"And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." Exodus 33:19  "But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God." Neh 9:31


In my experience when you are merciful to others God is merciful to you. When you are compassionate to others, God is compassionate to you. As Abba said 'It is not a one way street'. If you show others no mercy then God will not be merciful to you.


So what happens to wayward children? They get put to sleep until they wake up in a better frame of mind.


Do humanity have mercy for God's creation? How much mercy do you bestow upon his creation? Were you merciful to this reality? How much mercy did you give?


Prophet Isaiah mentions the fact that the people have no mercy or compassion for the children. If humanity truly had compassion for children, there would not be a single child in poverty.


"Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." Isa 55:7 In biblical times, the wicked were those that did not look after God's perfect creation, Mother Earth. 


"In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old."Isa 63:9 


"They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, O Daughter of Zion." Jer 6:23 


"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8 



What does it mean to walk humbly with your God? It means that you ask God what you can do for him. It means that you align your will with the will of God.


"Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy." Micah 7:18 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Zech 7:9 


"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."Matthew 5:7


For it is the measure of the spiritual law as the Christ said it comes back to you 30, 60 or 100 times.


May humanity be merciful beyond measure, for it is the will of God for you to be so, then he will show you his mercy.
