Memory Verse: I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 89:1
I renewable energies such as solar and wind. The need for these energies to power the world cannot be overstated. It suffices to say without energy there will be no physical world. Similarly, in the spiritual world there is a renewable energy that God has put in place to sustain the world, it is called mercy. The mercy of God that is renewed every morning is the reason why the world still exists today, despite the wickedness that is in it. Who dares ignore God's mercy and carry on well in life?
If for any reason we wake up one day and discover that the Almighty did not renew His mercy for the day, it will surely be the end of the world. What the sun is to the physical world is what the Lord's mercy is to the metaphysical world. Each day the Master of the Universe renews His mercy, it is an allowance to make things right and correct wrongs. Therefore, it is important to align ourselves with the mercy of Jehovah as a people of understanding.
There is what is called the sure mercies of David and this came into being when the heavenly Father swore not to take His mercy from the second king of Israel. This was what differentiated between King Saul and King David in a way. When God shows mercy to a person nothing can stand on the way of such a man. This is the reason why judgment is averted when mercy speaks. As for the apostle Paul who was one time injurious to the body of Christ, he became a builder of the Church when he received mercy, thus proving that there is nobody that mercy cannot change and there is no situation that mercy cannot turn around.
It is actually no surprise that Yahweh is called the Father of mercies (2 Corinthians 1:3). This understanding should appeal to our conscience that we must be like our heavenly Father in showing mercy. It is actually doubtful if anyone claims to be a believer and he or she is without mercy. One essential thing to remember is that the merciful shall obtain mercy. Indeed, it is a high calling for us to live a life of mercy and to keep renewing it for people on a daily basis as a reflection of the divine nature that we carry.

* Ask the Lord to make you a candidate of His mercy for all your lifetime care.
