Text: Psalm 103:13-14.
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
When the whole world became very wicked, violent and perverse, the Almighty God decided to do something drastic about it. When the Lord saw how wicked everyone on Earth was and how evil their thoughts were all the time, he was sorry that he had ever made them and put them on the Earth. He was so filled with regret that he said, “I will wipe out these people I have created, and also the animals and the birds, because I am sorry that I made any of them.” Genesis 6:5-12
One of the reasons why God vowed never to destroy the world with water anymore is because as a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust-Psalm 103:13-14.
When he remembers that we are made in his image, he shows mercy and gives sinners a long rope of repentance to pull. He is slow to anger, not willing that anyone should perish but instead he is patient with them, not wanting anyone to perish, but for everyone to come to repentance-2 Peter 3:9
However, Jezebel, the false prophetess, took his mercy for granted even though God gave her enough time to repent, but when she wouldn’t she brought God’s hammer of judgement on herself- Revelation 2:18-23.
It is by his mercy that we are not consumed because we are created in his image. We should therefore, as an obligation to extend the same mercy to others around us.
Action Nugget: Extend the mercy you are enjoying to God’s images around you from today.
Bible in One Year: Joshua 18-22
