[Psa 33:17-18 NKJV] 17 “A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy.”
God is the Father of mercies, the source of every mercy; He is a merciful God. His first attribute that was declared and displayed, when He granted Moses’ request for the revelation of His glory was mercy. The Bible says, “…The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth.” You don’t know God, until you have discovered Him as a merciful God.
At the root of every great victory is great mercy, not the great strength of a horse, or the great strategy of the rider. The strength of a man’s will combined with the swiftness of his running do not automatically translate to greatness, or success without the input of God’s mercy. The Bible says, “So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.” For our willingness and running to produce expected result, we need the mercy of God.
If there is anything we need this year more than any other thing, it is the mercy of God; individuals, institutions, organizations, even nations need the mercy of God. In the last few years, we have witnessed the strength of nations failed, corporate organizations crumbled, and private individuals slumped, we surely need the mercy of God.
Putting our hope in God’s mercy, positions us under His loving eye. The bible says,“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy.” No one ever fails under God’s watchful eye. For this reason, we are seeking God’s mercy for all our activities and endeavors for March and the rest of the year. I pray that this month, you shall begin to enjoy the mercy of God at a greater dimension, in Jesus’ name.
