God is merciful
Exodus 34:6-7
And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. Keeping mercy for thousands,forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin…
Sometimes when you look at all the injustice and wickedness in the world, you will wonder why God does not punish wickedness immediately.
But the verse above says God is merciful, gracious and long-suffering. He is giving the wicked the chance to repent and accept the gift of salvation. He loves every one of His creation and He will give everyone second and even third chances to repent if necessary.
God is merciful, He does not want anyone to perish in hell, He wants all men to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Ephesians 2:4-5
But God who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ…
The verse above, confirms the explanation I just gave. God is merciful because of His great love for us and keeps waiting for us to turn away from our sins.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Stop frustrating the grace and mercy of God upon your life. Accept the gift of salvation, if you have not done so already.
2. If you are already saved obey God’s commands and live to glorify His name.
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for for your mercy which qualifies everyone to enjoy your grace and blessings. Amen
