Welcome to Heartstrings!
Every day is a good day when I consider the Lord's mercies are new every morning. Mercy like manna. He is faithful to pour out His faithfulness and grace like rain that falls sweetly over my day. He is wonderful and worthy of Praise!
The reason I write here is to show His praises and give account of the Lord's working in my life for His glory and my good. Part of the journey is of course, a breaking down of past assumptions that I think I know stuff. But, Holy Spirit sifts through all that and adds and substracts to make me a vessel of honor. The journey is long. The way is sometimes difficult. He remains Faithful and True every step I take.
Are you acquainted with His mercy? If you are a follower of Christ and living in Him then, you have experienced mercy. Learning to adapt His Word for the issues we deal with; making all those choices based on what we find as Truth in God's Love letter to us, bring us always to the heart of God. O Lord, may we desire more of You!
I love the promises I find in the book of Psalm. Chapter nine, verse 9 blessed me this morning so much. "The Lord also will be a refuge and a high tower for the oppressed, a refuge and a stronghold in times of trouble (high cost, destitution, and desperation)."
Wow! That sure describes the times we are living in today doesn't it? The high cost of food, those destitute after so much flooding and the desperation of peoples around the world due to the rise of evil. We ask when will it ever end? Will there be peace? Only the return of Jesus Christ will bring the changes. What do we do in the meantime? Trust in the Lord and do your best to follow hard after Him. Believe mercy is yours. Believe grace is yours.
Psalm 9:10 says, "And they who know Your name [who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy] will lean on and confidently put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek (inquire of and for) You [on the authority of God's Word and the right of their necessity]."
Praise the Lord! His Word never changes! Are you a follower of Christ? Will you call on His name today and be saved from the sin in your life? That huge gap between you and the Father in heaven is only bridged by faith in His Son Jesus. So, trust and obey. There is no other way. Only through Jesus Christ are you redeemed from the pit of destruction. Back to the Father. This is mercy to me. Be blessed in the matchless name of Jesus today.
Abundance is...not forsaken
