Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy p3

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this hump day Wednesday February 10, 2010. Today we are finishing up on the mini series of Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy. The last installment is hitting on mercy. Now mercy is a strong word. I mean think about it for a minute. If God has mercy in you that means you must of did something that was out of His will or just being plain old disobedient. But with His mercy he holds back His punishment for stepping out of line. That means everything we do wrong (every single day that we live, i.e. sinning) He’s just sitting back chilling watching us do the wrong, waiting for us to come tell Him and tell Him what we did wrong. Then He shows us the correct response to the situation and then He holds back His consequences of those wrongful actions. But please don’t get it twisted, depending how far you jump out of line, Jesus may not intercede on your behalf. If that happens then you have to feel the brunt of God’s disciplinary actions. However, in this we must find the lesson in the every situation. The reason He gave you mercy is because you told Him the truth and did not lie. For while I was doing my research on this topic I constantly kept seeing Mercy and Truth, but not so much as grace and mercy as I had expected. In Psalms 85:10 it states “Mercy and Truth are met together…”. So if they were coupled together it would seem that Mercy has some conditions. If it did not then God would not have poured out His wrath on several different occasions in the bible. So in order to keep God’s mercy upon us, we have to stay soaked in His word and saturated in His will, because all in all His mercy does endure forever and ever. Please read I Timothy 1:13 KJV Psalms 85:10 KJV

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
