God Grace and Mercy be unto you from God our Father!

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.” (1 Tim. 1:2) goes deep for undeserving folks (me included) but we can rest assure that God is Merciful! Some may know exactly what this means; Bless you but I’m speaking to someone who may not know how Great is our God for being so merciful towards us.

There are many biblical figures written about in the bible how God granted mercy. How ironic if truth be told we are underserving looking to be somewhat deserving saints only saved by God’s grace so important that each day we remember this title; s\ “God is Merciful”

I would like to begin this series I pray; from the book of Genesis with a man name Abraham.

Abraham has been preached to many who has been searching as to what is the bible, who is God, who is Jesus, and who is the Holy Spirit. it all starts in this book. Then there are some who says that you should read from the NT books first and work your way back to the OT. I tend to agree with that as NT reveals OT I would say for clarity but remember learning about God is always eternity in other words just because you may get some revelations I want you to remember the phrase “some revelation” because as you continuously read your bible you will never get all the understanding of what God is speaking to us individually and collectively. Yes, God is Merciful.!

Abraham has been known to us as one of bible characters as being a Giants by most scholars of the bible (those who read and study the bible definitely more than I do) who takes the time to digest by writing and comparing with our scholars I believe they are on the same plane as Theologians. Abraham title has been given aa the Father of Faith. Genesis has so many nuggets in there; but let’s focus on Abraham.

Some say, and I agree that if you look at the life of Abraham and read your newspaper of today you can find similarities and differences between what is going on even today. Genesis is even called the book of beginnings and I mean everything; the first of everything nothing new under the sun. The first, the first and the first. God has been with Abraham since he was born in other words God doesn’t just wake up and say I will use this or that person for a specific person I believe God has already decided who he will use for a specific purpose; but don’t lose sight that God only uses those that are in the bible. Thank God that the bible speaks that he can use you and I. Oh my God I’m praying for one that may be reading this post and saying even me and I hear to say yes He can.

I want to leave you with this scripture: Genesis 18:19; 19-29 I know you though I was going to start from Genesis. 1; but not now; Chapter 18th tells how great God is and How God is truly a merciful God. There was a land called Sodom and the people who lived there just like us was full of sinners. Those people just like us deserved to be punished; just like us deserved the wrath of God. This is where I agree with those that same Abraham was Giant (Giant in this case; is a special person who thinks about others) Abraham I gotten word from God that he will destroy the land of Sodom because of the sin. What di Abraham do he pleaded with God and each time God granted his proposal. I love this part of the story because it too let us know that we shouldn’t give up when we go to prayer. I wanted you to hear this as the bible stipulates that Abraham got a response to his request and some wonder if he kept going would God grant him his request. I would like think yes; or it could be a metaphor that God is telling us today that He can be merciful to us as well. At the time Abraham is asking God it almost seem that God was giving these people of Sodom every opportunity to be spared. Do we ever stop to remember that if not for the great mercies of God that we would all still be the objects of his wrath? I love the psalmist who sang somebody pray for me. I believe that even you and I who may not have know who in our family tree that prayed for us and we are still here. There is a purpose for each of us; I believe there is a calling for us in this season. I’m almost there!

Pray with me: Father, in the name of Jesus; I thank you that you are merciful God for all of those who come seeking and searching for you. Most of all I pray for those when they come with a sincere heart that fhey would receive the scripture “Ask, and it shall be given, Knock and door shall be open, Seek and ye shall find. Thank you for what you’re doing and Thank you for what you are about do. Thank you for your Love, thank you for Grace and thank you for being a merciful God in Jesus Name – Amen
