Mercies

Psalm 51:1, “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.”  Psalm 116:1-2, 5 says, “I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.  Because He has inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.  Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.”

“Let the house of Aaron now say, that His mercy endures forever,” Psalm 118:3. Psalm 44:26, “Arise for our help, and redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.”  Psalm 103:3-4, “Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies;”

“Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful,” says Jesus in Luke 6:36.  “So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy,” Romans 9:16.

He Answered Me

“I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.” (Psalm 118:5)

1 Corinthians 14:3, says, “But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”

Psalm 34:4, reads, “I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears.”

“It is of the Lord‘s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Your faithfulness.  The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in Him.  The Lord is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him.  It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.” (Lamentations 3:22-26)

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your answers, Your example of living, Your sacrifice and Your great love.

*When and how has God answered you?
