How Much Mercy Does God Have
Psalms 41:4
4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
KJV
I have read the psalms no less than a hundred times since I have been saved and still after all that many times of reading I
am still moved with how many times David confesses his sin and how many times he asked for the mercy of God and how
many times he received God's mercy. Each time equals the other. Every time he confessed his sin he received the mercy of
God. Is this why we call them the sure mercies of David. Because they never failed to come.
Is this a testament of how much a man can sin and receive mercy? Is this a testament of how merciful God is? Is this a
testament of how sure a man can be of the mercy of God if he does confess his sin and call on God for the mercy that will
restore or heal his soul? For a sinful soul must be restored, healed or forgiven if it will have the blessings of God that can
sustain life. Or if it will have the ongoing fellowship of walking and talking with God, a fellowship that allows an imperfect child
to capture the heart of a perfect Father.
I believe it is a testament of all three. A testament that says no matter how far you have fallen you can still touch the heart of
God. And when you touch the heart of God you touch the source of what ever you need from the mercy of God.
I am not talking about what we call cheap grace. I am talking about the divine, infinite mercy of God. The mercy of God that
comes from the throne of God where Jesus is seated at the right side of God ever making intercession. Mercy that comes
where the blood of Jesus is applied. The mercy of God that endures forever. If it endures for ever then it will be needed for
ever. For nothing of God continues forever without a mission and mercy will always have a mission. For ever for us will be all
the days of our life. The psalmist said that goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our life. They do not follow us
for naught. They follow us so that when we do fall we will fall on the goodness and mercy of God instead of the judgment
and justice of God. The goodness and mercy of God allows the divine forgiveness, correction, chastisement and restoration
of the soul that David asks for. The justice and judgment of God only allows a divine sentence without the retribution for sin
made by the blood of Jesus. Thank God that his goodness and mercy follows us.
Jeremiah said these mercies rise new every morning.
Lamentations 3:21-24
22 It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail
not. [Mal 3:6.]
23 They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness. [Isa 33:2.]
24 The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for
Him. [Num 18:20.]

The mercies of God not only follow us but they follow us in the newness of everyday with every day’s new need for those
mercies. The mercy of God is aptly described in the New Testament in Romans 8:32-39.
Romans 8:32-39
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,
who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things
to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
KJV
The mercy that comes from God through Jesus Christ, by Jesus and in Jesus that will supply our needs and need for
restoration and will not let the condemning accusation of sin stand against us or separate us from the love of God as his
children. Make your mercy call today for whatever the reason may be and be restored. The mercy of God awaits you.
