THE GLORY OF GOD REVEALED IN HIS NAME THE MERCIFUL GOD, (CONTINUING THE SERIES)
Exodus 34:6: “And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.”
We have written about knowing God in the last two posts. We now see in this scripture that God’s glory is revealed in His mercifulness, or we could say, fullness of mercy. Where would we be if I wasn’t for His mercy?
Lamentations 3:22, 23 say: “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
What an amazing glory we discover in His mercies towards us. None of us have earned a single atom of His mercy--and that is the truth! What an insult to God it must be if we take His mercy for granted and we are not grateful.
Psalm 57:10: “Thy mercy is great unto the heaven.”
Psalm 37:21: “But the righteous showeth mercy and giveth.”
Men, considering God has shown us such great mercy, shouldn’t this motivate us to be much more merciful towards our wives and families? In fact, we should be merciful toward all men.
Be encouraged.
