Today God says:
"Do not forsake My mercy and truth"
He promises me:
"Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart. So shall you find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man". (Prov. 3:3-4)
My response to the word:
I know that God's mercy and truth will never forsake me if I continue to seek them. I will hide God's Word of truth in my heart so that I will not sin against Him. Throughout this day I will remember the Psalmist's words, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever".
My prayer:
Heavenly Father, help me to bind your mercy and truth to my life and to keep them in my heart. I claim your promise of favour and good understanding in your sight and the sight of men.
Today's scriptures:
"Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life, and I will remain in the Lord's house for days without end". (Ps. 23:6 GW) "I have treasured your promise in my heart so that I may not sin against you". (Ps. 119:11 GW) "Whoever pursues righteousness and mercy will find life, righteousness and honour". (Prov. 21:21 GW)
Quote for today:
Always tell the truth. Then you don't have to worry about what you said last. (Robert Cook)
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".
