Post date: May 8, 2018 3:46:22 AM

Did you know things are fast changing for good in your life because of God’s mercies and His amazing love for you through Christ Jesus despite what people are saying and doing and despite whatever had happened to you? When His mercy is in operation, unthinkable things will begin to take place, amazing things will be revealed to mankind, and unexpected things will show up in places nothing had happen before and it will be fast. Men will be amazed at what they now see compared to what they had known before and they will be confounded without words and will give praise to your God. Irrespective of what men had done to you and against you, God mercy is coming and you will enjoy it. They have pushed you down, God will raise you up because of His mercy; they have robbed you of joy and radiance, God will restore both because of His mercy; they have taken your peace away and given you troubles, God will restore your peace and take the troubles away because of His mercy. God’s mercy is coming and you will enjoy it. His mercy delivers from the consequences of wrongs and sins, it protects against the full effect of evil and keep us alive for the glory that He had promised will come in His word. Because of His mercy, we have hope and assurance, we keep our expectations high and our prayers fervent; because of His mercies we have the trust of His faithfulness to His words and by His mercies we are alive.

“He has dragged me off the path and torn me in pieces, leaving me helpless and devastated. He has drawn his bow and made me the target for his arrows. He shot his arrows deep into my heart. My own people laugh at me. All day long they sing their mocking songs. He has filled me with bitterness and given me a bitter cup of sorrow to drink. He has made me chew on gravel. He has rolled me in the dust. Peace has been stripped away, and I have forgotten what prosperity is. I cry out, my splendor is gone, everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost. The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words. I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: the faithful love of the Lord never ends. His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, the Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him. The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord. And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline: let them sit alone in silence beneath the Lord’s demands. Let them lie face down in the dust, for there may be hope at last. Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them and accept the insults of their enemies. For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever.Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love. For he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow.If people crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land, if they deprive others of their rights in defiance of the Most High, if they twist justice in the courts, doesn’t the Lord see all these things? Who can command things to happen without the Lord’s permission? Does not the Most High send both calamity and good? Then why should we, mere humans, complain when we are punished for our sins? Instead, let us test and examine our ways. Let us turn back to the Lord. Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven and say, we have sinned and rebelled, and you have not forgiven us. You have engulfed us with your anger, chased us down, and slaughtered us without mercy. You have hidden yourself in a cloud so our prayers cannot reach you. You have discarded us as refuse and garbageamong the nations. All our enemies have spoken out against us. We are filled with fear, for we are trapped, devastated, and ruined. Tears stream from my eyesbecause of the destruction of my people. My tears flow endlessly; they will not stop until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees.” Lamentation 3:11-50.
