Thinking of mercy this morning.

James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
He has shown you O man what is good, and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, TO LOVE MERCY and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
27:2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

This girl does a really good job with this Scripture. You should Google her name or check the rest of her music on YT.

Some great thoughts in Psalms 119.
15 I will meditate in Your precepts
I will contemplate Your ways.
16 I will delight myself in Your statutes.
I will not forget Your Word.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word.

There is a lot of sorrow and pain in the world, but there is also beauty. Its like a contradiction. Perhaps God wants us to experience this contradiction so we can know how it feels, as a part of our learning. We are contrary to God and perhaps this is how He feels when enduring with us. Just my opinion.

Psalms 1:2-3
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, he meditates therein day and night. Jesus is the Word.
Verse 3 shows the result of doing verse 2.
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. Planting a tree takes planning and care.
Bring forth fruit in its season. John 15
His leaf also shall not wither. This is our fruit remaining.
And whatsoever we do will prosper. Genesis 39:2

Yes, there is. Overwhelmingly so.

Yet He lifts us up on eagle's wings so that we can, against all odds, soar above it.

When I think about life's storms I like to think of Jesus walking on the water and telling the storm to be still.

Yes, that's a good reminder that it is HE Who controls all kinds of storms
