THE WAY OF GOD=IS MERCY

THE WAY OF GOD=IS MERCY We PRAY every day We pray for our health We pray for our finances And we pray for our broken relationships We pray for our FAMILY We pray for our country And we pray for our world- To find peace On a more menial level We EVEN PRAY for our team To win- Or that we hit the lottery But the question begs: What kind of God Do we worship? Is God Really on our side? ONE thing that I KNOW Is that God LOVES US infinitely And that he wants what is GOOD For us He is the God of LOVE The God of forgiveness-and the- GOD OF KINDNESS MOST of all He is the GOD OF MERCY And he is the God of OBJECTIVE TRUTH He shows no partiality “For the Lord your God Is GOD of gods And Lord of lords The great God Mighty and awesome Who shows NO PARTIALITY And accepts no bribes” Deuteronomy 10:17 “These are the sayings Of the wise To show partiality in judging Is not good” Proverbs 24:23 But BEYOND objectivity and love GOD'S WAY IS MERCY He is always forgiving He is always ready To take us back-IF- We want to come back In the story of Jonah And the Ninevites God sent Jonah To teach repentance to them But Jonah wanted out of it He didn't want them saved He wanted them to SUFFER Bot God OFFERED MERCY -Even to the oppressors Of his CHOSEN people If he offers mercy to them How much more so Will he offer mercy TO US In this-the year- Of DIVINE MERCY Just like the PRODIGAL SON He will offer us mercy And WELCOME us home “Give thanks to the Lord For he is good His MERCY ENDURES FOREVER” Psalm 136:1 “........We do not Make requests of you Because we are righteous But because Of your great mercy” Daniel 9:18 Dear Lord-dear Jesus- You are the great God of love The GREAT GOD OF MERCY HELP US to LIVE With that same mercy towards others That you give to us In your Son Jesus' name Robert P.
