Today God says:
"I am the Father of mercies"
He promises me:
"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3)
My response to the word:
My Father is the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, and He is the Father of mercies. He is also the God of all comfort in my life. I bless the Lord for His mercies and comfort in my life. I respond to His mercies by giving all that I am and hope to be to Him.
My prayer:
Father of mercies and God of all comfort, I give myself to you. Thank you for your mercy and comfort in my life.
Today's scriptures:
"The reason I can still find hope is that I keep this one thing in mind: the Lord's mercy. We were not completely wiped out. His compassion is never limited". (Lam. 3:21,22 GW) "Brothers and sisters, because of God's compassion toward us, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to Him". (Rom 12:1 GW) "As holy people whom God has chosen and loved, be sympathetic, kind, humble, gentle and patient". (Col. 3:12 GW)
Quote for today:
He will not allow His mercies to become veils to hide His face, but He makes them windows through which He looks upon us. (Charles Spurgeon)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
