Trusting in God's mercy means relying on His compassion to forgive and provide for our needs.
Trusting in God's mercy reflects a deep understanding of our own sinfulness and the assurance that God is willing to forgive those who seek Him genuinely. The lepers in 2 Kings 7 serve as an example of this trust; they recognized that staying in their suffering would lead to their demise and thus decided to seek mercy from the Syrians, ultimately leading them to God’s ultimate provision. Scripture illustrates this truth in Psalm 86:5, where it says, 'You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.' This abounding love is an invitation for all sinners to approach God with confidence, knowing that He delights in showing mercy, bringing restoration and sustenance.
