The Reading for today’s Morning Prayer was Deuteronomy 7: 6, 8-9.
It includes the phrase, “…faithful God who keeps his merciful covenant…”
Merciful.
God’s covenant is merciful.
Of course it is–what else would it be? But I hadn’t thought about it in those terms before! God wants what’s good for us, because He loves us. And that’s what mercy is all about: wanting the good for others.
Today, may we be a sign of mercy in the world in which God has placed us.
I love reading something from the Bible or morning prayer … and it’s obviously something familiar but I experience it in a brand new way! God is so good like that … always giving us new insights to ponder, to keep drawing us closer to Him!
