As we begin this new week, I would like to share another important Biblical principle for us to ponder regarding the blessing of mercy. “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” (Matthew 5:7 KJV). God’s promise of the blessing of mercy is well encapsulated in this verse of Scripture. Here the Lord Jesus Christ gives us an insight into the mind of God concerning the act of mercy. We are told that if we are merciful, we will obtain mercy. “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” When we obey God in showing mercy to other people, we will find mercy and favour in the sight of God and men. We will also find life and honour. As we show mercy, the blessings of the Lord will become abundant in our lives. “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed” (Psalm 37:25, 26 KJV). As the Lord uses us in the ministry of mercy to bring restoration and peace, our lives will witness divine visitation of mercy. Following the pattern of Scripture and the way of Christ in showing mercy, makes it possible for merciful people not to stop coming our ways…Have a blessed week friends.
