This, His great mercy is what have always sustained us, from day to day we have seen the hand of God work in a powerful way, from ancient times to the present time, because God does not change, He remains the same.
God’s mercy has been evident throughout all generations. From the beginning of creation, His compassion has been poured out upon humanity, even when mankind has failed Him time and time again. The Scriptures consistently remind us that it is not because of our own goodness or strength that we remain standing, but because of the unfailing mercy of the Lord. Every new day is a clear testimony that His grace has not been withdrawn from us.
We are standing because God has allowed it, for that we must give thanks for His great love, for His goodness and for His great mercy.
Recognizing that we are standing by His will alone should lead us to a life of constant gratitude. Gratitude is not only expressed with words, but also with the way we live, the decisions we make, and the trust we place in God even when circumstances seem uncertain. His love sustains us, His goodness surrounds us, and His mercy restores us when we fall short.
In life various difficulties arise which we cannot face with our own strength. We also think that we walk with the best steps, but God is the one who knows our steps, He is the one who affirms our walk and knows where we walk. Praise God for this His great mercy.
Many times we believe that we have everything under control, yet the reality is that our strength is limited and our understanding is incomplete. God, however, sees the entire path ahead. He knows the dangers we cannot see, the trials that will test our faith, and the blessings that will shape our character. His mercy guides us when we are unsure, lifts us when we are weak, and corrects us when we stray from His will.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Psalm 63:3-4
These verses reveal a deep truth about the heart of a believer. David understood that God’s lovingkindness was more valuable than life itself. Life without God’s mercy would be empty and meaningless, but with His presence, even the hardest moments find purpose. This is why praise flows naturally from a heart that recognizes the greatness of God’s mercy.
Let us be thankful to the Lord and not just for a moment, but always live with full thanks to God, exalting His name, recognizing that He is a God of power and that He has dominion over everything.
True thankfulness is not seasonal or dependent on circumstances. It is a lifestyle rooted in the knowledge of who God is. When we understand that He reigns over heaven and earth, that nothing escapes His authority, and that His mercy is renewed every morning, our hearts are moved to worship Him continually.
In the verses that we saw in this article we can notice the importance of God’s mercy. It is very important because He is the one who gives life and is the one who takes it. If we are alive, we breathe and we can take steps forward, it is because He wanted it, only He knows all things, and He knows us, that is why we give glory and praise to God, He is wonderful and His mercy is for the centuries of centuries. Amen.
May this reflection encourage us to never take God’s mercy for granted. Every breath we take, every opportunity to grow, and every chance to glorify His name is a gift that flows from His loving heart. Let us live each day acknowledging His mercy, trusting in His guidance, and lifting our voices in praise to the One who sustains us forever.
