Need God’s Mercy?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who cry out to God for his mercy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Synonyms for the word mercy include kindness, sympathy, understanding, and compassion. Are you ready for a God who is so merciful that he will forgive confessed sin? No matter how extreme, God will extend his mercy and restore a person to right relationship with himself.

Psalm 57:1-3 is about the psalmist’s appeal for mercy.

“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah”

Take a minute and reflect. Are you in need of God’s mercy in your life? Ask God to minister to you. Now.

God Chose Our Heritage?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who will shout to God with loud songs of joy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 47 starts out with songs of joy. By the end, the psalmist is sharing about the heritage of the inhabitants of the Promised Land.

When looking at family pictures, especially wedding albums, there is usually at least one picture that shows multiple generations. Such a snapshot provides a frame of reference for family members to ponder. The family tree can include parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents. That is not to mention all the aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Psalm 47:1-4 tells us that God chose our heritage.

“Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared,
a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah “

When we think of our heritage, acknowledge God. Praise God if you have accepted Christ as Lord and savior. You are a child of God. Do as the Psalm says, “Clap your hands with loud songs of joy!”
