God is Merciful

Deuteronomy 4:31

For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

Exodus 34:6

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness,

Psalm 116:5

The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

Psalm 145:8-9

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.

The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.

Thoughts    

.. A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.

.. My very soul was flooded with celestial light.  For the first time I realized that I had been trying to hold the world in one hand and the Lord in the other.

.. Doubts do not destroy truth; they strengthen it.

.. God is the beyond in the midst of our life.

Heaven will be our reward

The Bible tells us what's a sin,

All the actions we can't defend.

The Lord had it all laid out,

There's no room for any doubt.

Deuteronomy 7:26

Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Utterly abhor and detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.

Thoughts on This Verse....

A little corruption, a little poison, and a little rotten are all oxymorons. God has made us pure and perfect in Jesus. What a glorious thought! Why would we want to stain his perfection with what is evil. Our Father wants us to dedicate ourselves to him, and to living as his holy people (Rom. 12:1-2; 1 Pet. 1:13-16).
