VERSE OF THE DAY

Saturday

Ephesians 2:4-5 Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved.

I cannot think of anything I'd prefer the Holy God to be rich in than mercy. I know my failures, shortcomings, sins, and transgressions. Without His mercy to pardon, and without His grace to send Jesus to pardon at first, I would be lost and without God. Now, because of His rich mercy, my life is tied to Jesus' future and not the one I earned for myself.

PRAYER ... Father of all grace and mercy, thank You. Thank You for being God like You are God. Thank You for extending grace when I have not deserved it. Thank You for giving mercy when I most needed it. Thank You for giving life when I thought my life was doomed and hopeless. May my wealth be found in mercy and grace much more than money and gold. Help me be more like You. Through Jesus, I pray. Amen.
