Grace And Mercy

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. - Psalms 111:4

    Every day the elect of God lives upon this earth is an illustrious display of God’s sovereign mercy and grace. Whatever comes our way is from his loving hand of compassion and pity. No matter what it is that we experience, joy and gladness or pain and suffering, it is good because our good God has purposed it to be good for us, and that it will be. Every thing that is a blessing to the child of God is a curse to the unbelieving.

    Every spiritual blessing—Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3), and every temporal blessing—In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thes 5:18), comes to his people through and by the person and work of our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ. The physical bread that we enjoy, as well as the spiritual Bread that we feast upon, is from his hand. The making of the clothes for our backs, as well as the everlasting righteousness by and in which we are accepted before God, is all his doing. Therefore, I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore (Ps 86:12).
