God Is Holy

Eternally merciful
1 Chronicles 16:34

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Proverbs 24-26 : PM - 1 Corinthians 7

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever
(1 Chron. 16:34).

When Thomas Hooker lay dying, a friend said, "Brother, you are going to receive the reward of your labors." He humbly replied, Brother, I am going to receive mercy." We need nothing but mercy, but mercy we must have or we are lost. Justice would give us what we deserve - hell. God in His infinite mercy and grace gives us heaven.

Merciful Lord, as I walk this life journey, help me, too, to be merciful to everyone I meet.
