Unto Thee lift I up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our GOD, until that He have mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. (Psalms 123:1-4)
GOD the Father sits on the Throne of Heaven. GOD the Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Son of GOD, sits at His right hand ever living to make intercession for the saints. GOD the Spirit convicts the world and indwells every believer to guide us into all Truth.
We thank GOD for His mercy, extended to us each and every day. Mercy that withheld judgment until we could come to Him on His terms and repent of our sIn and receive Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. Mercy that gave each of us many days of living our former life, even though we were dead in our trespasses and sIns, and enemies with the GOD of all creation, until we could be born again. Mercy that GOD allows even those that despise Him to continue to draw breath so that they might repent and believe in His Sovereign grace and be saved.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His Word and receive Him by faith, surrendering to Him on His terms and be born again, and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Humble yourself under the mighty Hand of GOD and He will exalt you in grace and mercy.
In Christ,
