Psalm 103:6-14 6 The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; 12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him. 14 For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.
SOAP – Psalm 103:10-11
Mercy is the demonstration of God’s great love for us. When we deserved judgment, God sent us a Savior. When we deserved punishment, God poured out his amazing grace. Mercy is something we desperately need from God, or we are utterly without hope.
How do you show gratitude for the love and mercy given to you? God’s love is meant to transform us so that each day we look and act a little more and more like Jesus. God pours love and mercy into our lives each day so that we have excess available to pour into the lives of people around us.
Father God, I thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ who has made me free. Remind me that Your mercy and love is meant to be shared. Because I have been blessed with Your overflowing mercy, help me to bless others with mine. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
