Living under His mercy!
Psalm 145:8-9 (144:8-9 LXX)
The Lord is gracious and merciful,
Longsuffering and abundant in mercy.
The Lord is good to all,
And His mercies are upon all His works.
Encouraging Words
If God created all of mankind in His image then are we, not His works? And if we are His works, all of us, then are not His mercies upon us and He good to us? This makes the first sentence all the more powerful in our lives, that the Lord is gracious, merciful, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy. He is this way towards me, and all of the rest of mankind, His creation. He is not a wrathful, vengeful, judgmental Father. Glory be to God!
