Reading: Luke 1:57-80
I am so thankful to serve a promising God.
And a remembering God.
And a doing God.
“To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant” (Luke 1:72).
He promised mercy, so He has been doing mercy.
So much mercy!
I wonder what are some mercy promises I can find quickly. (Hang on a bit while I do it.)
“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations” (Deuteronomy 7:9).
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever” (Psalm 23:6).
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7).
God does and remembers. Always. I count on it.
