August 25 – Psalm 36:5  

Posted by Jan Ross

"Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds."  (Psalm 36:5)

God's mercy and faithfulness toward us . . . totally unmerited and undeserved. Mercy and faithfulness are attributes of God which are passed on to us because of His goodness and for His pleasure.

What an awesome thought! It is for His own pleasure that He is merciful. It pleases Him to be forever faithful toward us. To receive His mercy and to recognize and truth in His faithfulness is a form of praise to the Most High God. He is glorified as we learn to walk in the fullness of all He gave us so freely.

His hand of mercy can be seen in our lives each day as we sense His faithfulness to us in spite of our shortcomings. With humility of heart and meekness of spirit, we offer our sacrifice of praise to One who gives such a precious, costly gift. Our gift back to Him consists of our love, devotion, adoration and most importantly, our obedience.

Take a few moments right now to thank Him for His MERCY and FAITHFULNESS . . . for God IS good and His mercy endures forever.

Your mercy, Lord is forevermore . . . Your faithfulness is beyond measure. How can I ever thank You for all You have given me? I am rich with Your richness; I am blessed with Your blessings; I am filled with Your fullness. Thank you, Lord for Your mercy and for Your faithfulness. There is none who can compare to You. In Jesus' name, by His shed blood, and for His glory I offer my praise . . . Amen!

"The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD." (Jeremiah 33:11)
