Preparing our Hearts for the Holidays — Day 17

MERCIFUL

God’s merciful compassion is infinite and inexhaustible. Through Christ, He took the judgment that was rightfully ours and placed it on His own shoulders. He waits and works now for all people to turn to Him and to live under His justification.

Psalm 103:8-14 ESV – 8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. 9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. 10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. 14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

Lord God,

What mercy that You do not deal with me according to my sins! You sent Your only Son to be propitiation, the satisfaction, of my debt, my wages of sin. You did that according to Your steadfast love, according to Your mercy.

Great is Your faithfulness!

amen
