TOPIC: THE DAY OF GOD'S MERCY
Memorize: “For He saith to Moses, I will have mercy
on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion.” Romans 9:15
Read: 1 Samuel 16:11-12
Bible in one year: Galatians 4-6, Psalm 18:1-19
The day that David was preferred
above his brothers could best be described as a day of God's mercy. While he
was in the wilderness lookin after his father's flock, he never dreamt that he
could become a kin .There was no king in his family, and in any case, King Saul
was still alive. David was not the son of King Saul, so it could not have
crossed his mind that he could ever be king. He never prayed for it. In the
case of Elisha in 1 Kings 19:19- 21 , he was busy working on the farm when the
Almighty God graciously told him that he had obtained mercy from Him. He became
the son of a prophet. In the story of Gideon in Judges 6:11-16, the Bible tells
us that Gideon was by the winepress working, and the Almighty God met him
there. You may be working in a factory an God may meet you there. When your day
comes, nothing can stop it. In the case of Moses in Exodus 3:1 -10, the Bible
says Moses was at the backside of the desert where you wouldn't even think of
looking for a deliverer. You may live in a village that is not even on t e map
but God can pick you up from there. You may be a servant like Joshua - the
servant of Moses, who was in deep sorrow in a tent because his master had just
died. God met him there and said he was to replace Moses. Joshua trembled but
God said He would be with him just as He was with Moses (Joshua 1 :2 8:5).
David woke up a shepherd boy and by the time he went
to bed, he was a king. Today may be your day. It may be the day that you will
get answers to all your prayers. All you need to do is to worship God and let
your destiny be fulfilled. You must however remember that the day came for Gehazi
too. He was a servant of a man of God and he was a very crooked one. He must
have been playing some pranks an God must have been watching him. One day, his
day
came. He ran after Naaman and got
something. He got leprosy. Do not let today be your day of destruction. If you are
sti I in sin, let today be your day of salvation as it is written in 2
Corinthians 6:2:
”For he saith, I have heard thee
in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold,
now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
The mercy of God is pleading with
someone reading this devotional today: stop arguing with God, repent of your sins;
stop that extra-marital affair; stop that fraudulent practice; that the day of
God's mercy may come speedily. It may even be today.
Action Point:
Think of those things the Holy Spirit has been warning
you against; stop doing them and turn a new leaf so that today would be your
day of experiencing God’s mercy.

ReplyDeleteMany have settled to live with some sins. Their destinies have also settled for less. But the worst is on the way except we repent. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
