Surely... mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life...
Psalm 23:6 (NKJV)
Goodness and mercy are God's two sheep dogs.
Just as a shepherd uses these well-trained animals
to keep the flock safe and moving in the right direction,
our Heavenly Shepherd uses goodness and mercy
to insure that we reach our God-given destiny.
Every day we are tempted and we've all
blown it more times than we'd like to admit.
When this happens, the enemy tempts us
to believe that it's over, that God is finished with us
and that we'll never amount to anything.
Remember that mercy if following you.
Mercy means that when you are going
through a tough time--even one of your
own making--that God is there to help
you out of it.
The Bible teaches us that
mercy triumphs over judgment.
This means that even though we deserve
God's judgment and the penalty that
comes with it, because Jesus took
that judgment for us, we can receive
God's mercy.
Are you walking under a cloud of
self-condemnation today?
Are you defeated because of bad
decisions you've made in the past,
decisions that have hurt you and others?
God's mercy allows you to step out from
under the dark cloud of condemnation
and walk in the light of His love and goodness.
Have a Blessed & Powerful Day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for the mercy You have shown
me through Jesus' work for me on the cross.
Thank You that I do not need to be bound to my past
sins, but I can walk in freedom today.
Forgive me where I have failed.
Strengthen me to walk in Your freedom today.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
