Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!—Psalm 66:20
Praising God this morning for the same! His mercy is eternal…from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him and His righteousness to children’s children!
Mercy is a form of love especially directed toward the needy or unworthy. I don’t know about you, but that describes me. My heart is full! My God has not turned away my prayer…He has heard them. His hearing and answering does not depend on me or the quality of my prayers. He hears me and answers me simply because He is merciful. His favor toward me is good!
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.—Psalm 33:18-22
11 The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His mercy.—Psalm 147:11
God watches out for His children….He loves them, protects them and rescues them. How awesome it is beloved, to KNOW that when we pray in sincerity and truth, He who is mercy, hears us. Matthew Henry says rightly that His mercy toward us is the foundation of our hopes, the fountain of our comforts; and ought to be the matter of our praises. I. CAN. HOPE. IN. HIS. MERCY!
Praise the LORD!
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.—Psalm 106:1
