HOPE AND MERCY
Psalms 33:22 (32:22 LXX)
Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
As we hope in You.
Encouraging Words
Hope and mercy, what two powerful aspects of living a Christian life. We put our hope in the loving God. We put our hope in 2,000 years of evidence that God loves us and cares for us and that the Son, Jesus Christ, altered the course of eternity by His incarnation and the life He led leading up to His death, burial, and resurrection. we put our hope in the additional thousands of years that God worked in the lives of His people, continually providing images of the forthcoming Christ. We do not believe that our hope is ever in vain because of Who we put our hope in. And the wonderful and precious result of that hope is the mercy that our Lord pours out upon us. As the psalmist reminds us elsewhere in his writings, "His Mercy end ours forever." God's mercy is complete. God's mercy is all-encompassing, neglecting no one. God's money is undeserved, yet poured out lavishly. God's mercy is sourced from His love, which is the source of all love within us. So, as the psalmist says here, Lord God Almighty we put our hope in You and seek Your mercy.
