Bible Verse of The Day – 1-20-22

Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

First, let’s look at what it means to have mercy on someone.

It means to continue to show compassion or forgiveness toward someone when it is within that one’s power to punish or harm them.

In other words, don’t do to them what others would normally do or expect us to do.

Instead, we choose to do the opposite. We choose to give them a way out from their error or mess-up. We choose to forgive them immediately and move on.

How many times does someone do something to us, and we want to lash out at them, thinking we have the right to do so?

Will we take some time and pray about it before we do to them what we think we should do?

Sometimes giving it a little time will help us make good choices in the way we handle certain situations.

Remember, give it some time and let mercy work. Love mercy!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-21

Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

I love how Micah lists the things that the Lord requires us to do.

The first one being “to do justly”.

This means to do things in a way that is well founded; based on good evidence or reason, justifiable, and according to what is morally right or fair.

Second, we are to love mercy.

To show mercy means that we may be in a situation, and we have every right to punish someone for what they did against us, but we choose (here’s the mercy part) to forgive and let it go.

When we fully understand what God did for us, this will be easy to do. And we will actually enjoy doing the same for others.

This is not something God forces on us; it is however, something He would love to see us grow in on our own.

Learning to love walking in mercy produces such goodness and grace flowing out from us. These are very good qualities indeed.

Third, and very important, we need to walk humbly with our God.

This comes when we fully understand Who He is, and we begin to trust Him with our daily life and let Him lead us.

As we are growing up, we are taught to be the opposite. We are taught to do everything ourselves.

But, as we mature in the Lord, and in our relationship with Him, we will find ourselves running things by Him more often than usual.

This causes us to have a grateful and humble attitude toward our Almighty Father.

As we humble ourselves, He will raise us up, and things will work out accordingly in every situation.

1 Peter 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time…

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-26-16

Matthew 18:32-33 (NKJV) 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’

Does this remind us of ourselves? Have we maybe not shown mercy to someone else, even though we have been shown mercy in our own lives?

It can be so easy to look at others and pass judgment on someone based on one little tiny tidbit of their life that we see. Sometimes we will lack mercy when it comes to the life of another person in an area of their life where we have received mercy.

Maybe we see someone under the influence of alcohol and look down our noses at them, even though God rescued us from alcohol. Or maybe we show no mercy for someone who pulls out in front of us in traffic, even though we have done the very same thing on occasion.

We could go on and on with many, many examples of this, but it’s probably safe to say that we all get the point already.

So we just want to give a gentle reminder that God requires us to show the same mercy to others that He has shown to us.

James 2:13 (NKJV) 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
