Mercy
6 Praise be to the Lord,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him. Psalm 28:6-7
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word mercy? The first thing that comes to my mind is compassion and an act of kindness. How have you shown mercy to someone this week? There is less compassion in our world today, for many reasons, and I think the biggest reason is because we don't acknowledge the mercy our Lord and Savior gives us daily. Once we start recognizing the Mercy our Lord heaps on us, then maybe we can see how it makes us feel and can provide mercy for those others that are less fortunate than us. Take a moment this week and ask God for mercy for whatever situation you are experiencing and then take that mercy and remember that daily for a week. Maybe then you can see how it can make a difference and then show mercy to others whenever you can.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
