God is merciful!

“Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.” (Micah 7:18)

God delights in mercy: forgiveness and withholding punishment. He pardons sin and forgives transgression of the repentant readily and not grudgingly. We receive life through faith in Christ, not because we deserve it, but because of God’s mercy. Without the mercy of God, we would have no hope of heaven. Man’s suffering and guilt brought about by sin is what calls forth the mercy of God, which otherwise would remain hidden.

ACTION: We do not have to wallow in misery and pain but should be repentant and cry out for God’s infinite mercy.

PRAYER: Oh Lord our Father, please show us Your mercy on all fronts and set us free from the bondage of sin and guilt, in Jesus name, Amen.
