BECAUSE OF YOUR MERCY
Today's reading: Daniel 7-12
"...We do not ask because we deserve help, but because you are so merciful." Daniel 9:18 NLT
If these words cannot truthfully, thoughtfully and genuinely come out of our mouth before each and every prayer we pray, then we haven't a clue of Whom we are asking.
We don't deserve His help.
We've done nothing to make Him beholden to us.
We could never, in a million lifetimes, ever repay His goodness.
We come to Him because we know Him to be full of mercy.
Mercy, the disposition to show kindness and compassion in the situation where one's power clearly might demand otherwise.
Isn't that our God?!
