Early mercy

“O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” Psalm 90:14

When mercy is operating in your life, you will always have cause to rejoice and be glad. Mercy opens doors for favor. Psalm 102:13 says, “Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yea, the set time, is come.” Mercy brings timely favor.  When mercy appears judgment is suspended because mercy rejoices over judgment (James 2:13).  The thief on the right side of Jesus received mercy and got a place in paradise with Jesus, despite the fact that he committed the same offense as the thief on the left side (Luke 23:43).

“When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Proverb 16:7

“And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.” Genesis 31:24

Mercy makes your way to please the Lord. Mercy makes your enemy to be at peace with you. Mercy brings a breakthrough. Mercy is what makes your “willing” and your “running” to bring results. Romans 9:16 says, “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” When you obtain the mercy of God, He will fight against your enemy. Psalm 136:15, “ But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.”  When you touch God, He will release His mercy into your life (Gen 42: 28—Gen 33:4). Mercy is God prerogative, but it can be attracted by showing mercy to others and by praying through. Matthew 5:6 says,” Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”

May you obtain God’s mercy early this year so that every day of the year will be filled with rejoicing and gladness.

Prayer for today: Oh God, satisfy me early with your mercy this year in Jesus name.
