AUGUST 26 & 27, 2023 – Incredible Mercy

Incredible Mercy

 August 26 & 27, 2023
 August 26 – Daily Reading – Psa. 103-105 / 1 Cor. 1
 August 27 – NO READING

 GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 103:11-12 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

 GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

        Incredible Mercy describes God’s love for those who trust in Him. God’s grace is Him giving to us what we do not deserve. God’s mercy is Him knowing our sinfulness, and not giving to us what we actually do deserve. I have heard people say, I do not understand why God allowed this or that to happen to me, I do not deserve it. I understand in the situation what they are saying. However, I also know that if God gave us what we really deserved, no one could withstand it.

        I love how the Psalmist in today’s passage paints a picture of how awesome the mercy of God is. First, in Psalm 103:11 he says, “For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.” How far is heaven above us? No one really knows. We have gone into space, built giant telescopes that search deep into outer space, and not found heaven. That is how great his mercy is. Then the Author gives us a picture we can grasp. Psalm 103:12 says, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” He could have said north and south, but they meet at some point. If you head North on earth, when you reach a certain point, you start going south. However, if you head east, you will never reach a point when you begin to go west. If you go west, you will never go east. The two never meet. That is how far God has removed our sin from us. They never meet up again. Incredible.

   

 GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

        When God does something, it is incredible. He could have pardoned your sin but kept a list in the books. However, God has forgiven our sin and blotted them out with the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. Such incredible mercy from a loving God. 

Will you take a moment to say THANKS?

THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

        In life we choose how to invest our time and talent. Our best choice is to invest our lives into God and His kingdom. When we are Invested In Him, He also invests Himself into us. We saw that in:

● Integrity Above All
● Israel’s Costly Counsel
● Iniquity, This Is Serious
● Intelligence Is?
● Involved In Worship
● Incredible Mercy

        Choose to be Invested In Him. You reap dividends that are out of this world.

       Enjoy today with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.

   See you tomorrow.  

 SUNDAYS:

       Today we suggest you read and study whatever the Lord has laid on your Pastors heart. Whatever scripture he uses for today’s messages were given to him by God for your specific needs.
