What God's Mercy can do – Part 1

God says, "I will be his father, and he shall be My son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But My mercy shall not depart away from Solomon." II Samuel 7:14,15

This is an amazing promise of God to David about his future descendants, especially for his son. The most important thing God taught me here is how important God's mercy is in our lives. Many of us don't understand the importance of God's mercy, hence, we lose the confidence in God's promises to us, we lose the confidence in our relation with God. Today the most frequent thought that comes to a man is, whether his relation with God is on good terms?

Many of us have sinned knowingly and unknowingly. When we sin knowingly it is because we couldn't control ourselves, at that moment of temptation. This makes us really confused, whether our relation with God is in good terms or not. This might happen immediately or even when we don't see the answers to our prayers manifested immediately. Those are the questions which will be answered in this particular series. I want you to really allow this word to sink right inside your heart, if you expect it to make a difference. You will have to allow God to work, not help God, but permit Him to work in you. When I say, "Permit God to work in you", means you have to be humble to obey God, in what He says and be patient in seeing the results. If you are expecting immediate results, it might not happen. But if you lose your patience then you will lose your joy and backslide.

Start rejoicing from now, because God is working in you. This thought itself has to motivate you to rejoice, whether you see results or not, whether you feel it or not. You have to rejoice, by faith, because God has promised and it will happen. God bless you.
