DEVO 06
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GRACE & MERCY
GRACE = GOD GIVING US WHAT WE DON’T DESERVE
MERCY = GOD NOT GIVING US WHAT WE DO DESERVE
Like myself, I know you can think back on numerous occasions where you were a recipient of both God’s grace & mercy. There were moments when we created the mess we were in, yet He chose to have mercy on us. We should daily pray for God’s grace and mercy. Not because we are actively sinning but because in our pursuit of holiness (being set apart) we are still human and sometimes slip up with our attitudes or thoughts.
Maybe you are in need of His grace and mercy today, ask Him for it (Hebrews 14:6). Repent and do better! God knows the end from the beginning, He knows what we need before we even ask (Matthew 6:31-34). Sometimes He allows us to wallow in our mess so we can get to that place of motivation to finally get out of it. (Luke 15: 11-31 read about the prodigal son).
Today take a moment and thank the Lord for His grace and mercy on your life. Create a grateful lifestyle and watch how He pours it out even more.
Let’s pray!
Father, thank you for Your grace and mercy on my life. You’ve taken things I should have had consequences for and washed them clean as if they never happened. Thank you! Help me to walk with You, upright, seeking Your will over mine. Help me to be Salt & Light as You have called me to be! In Jesus name, amen.
