THE GREAT MERCY OF GOD
Look to the rock from which you were hewn And to the quarry from which you were dug. (Isa 51:1)
O Lord, our Maker, be with us in this moment of study. Bring our gaze around to see the depth of love and cherished anointing You give us. You are our Creator, we are Your created, Amen
Time after time our Lord mourns over the rejection we foist upon Him. As He created us, so He loves us, The depth of which we simply cannot fathom. The Lord cries in His heart over our repeating rejection of His gift, His LOVE. Here, God laments over Zion, the beautiful city, His people, His Bride:
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. No eye looked with pity on you to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you. Rather you were thrown out into the open field, for you were abhorred on the day you were born. When I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you while you were in your blood, 'Live!'
Time and time again He saves us. Time and time again we turn away and reject Him and His mercy:
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the LORD.
How many of us would be so forgiving, so merciful to follow so much rejection to then offer His only begotten Son to be the propitiation for our unending sins?
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by HIS grace you have been saved), AMEN
