Have Mercy!
So the followers brought the boy to Jesus. When the {evil}
spirit saw Jesus, the spirit attacked the boy. The boy fell
down and rolled on the ground. He was foaming from his mouth.
Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has this been
happening to the boy?" The father answered, "Since he was
very young. The spirit often throws him into a fire or into
water to kill him. If you can do anything for him, please
have pity on us and help us."
-- Mark 9:20-22 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Have mercy on us! Isn't that our real place before God? Don't we need
to come into the holy and awesome presence of God with the cry, "Have
mercy on me, O God!" Of course God loves to share mercy and touch us
with his grace. He is waiting for us to recognize our need for these.
He longs for us to acknowledge that without his grace, we have no
right, no power, and no place in his presence. Then, when grace and
mercy come to us, we can be assured that they are ours because of God's
love for us.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, I love you. I thank you. I praise you. There are many
reasons why you are worthy of my love, thanks, and praise. One of the
foremost reasons, however, is that you have treated me with mercy and
welcomed me with love and dealt with my sins graciously. Thank you. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
