We use our powerful God-tools
for tearing down barriers
erected against the truth of God,
fitting every loose thought
and emotion and impulse
into the structure of life
shaped by Christ...
building lives of obedience
into maturity.
2 Corinthians 10:5
I have had to identify specific tools
during this season of
loose thoughts and emotions.
They are the keys of life for me.
One of these is the word mercy.
In days of clear thinking and radical trust,
I cry out for a greater faith and deeper revelation.
I am grateful God allows me
to have those kinds of days.
But on those days where I can't see clearly,
all that seems to help is a cry for mercy.
It renders me totally dependent,
in a place of weakness.
The promise in weakness is strength.
My strength comes into
its own in your weakness.
So, I stand trusting in His strength.
Being okay in my weakness.
It's what mercy is all about.
Lord, have mercy on me.
It is my prayer all day long.
David declares in Psalm 52 that
God's mercy carries the day.
Selah.
