My heart is filled with compassion for people who are experiencing tragic circumstances in America and other countries. As I was praying about the tragedies in the news, I thought about the enduring mercy of God.
In Psalm 136 (NKJV), it says, “His mercy endures forever.”
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever.
3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever:
4 To Him who alone does great wonders. For His mercy endures forever.
5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens. For His mercy endures forever.
6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters. For His mercy endures forever.
7 To Him who made great lights. For His mercy endures forever—
8 The sun to rule by day. For His mercy endures forever;
9 The moon and stars to rule by night. For His mercy endures forever.
10 To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn. For His mercy endures forever:
11 And brought out Israel from among them. For His mercy endures forever;
12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm. For His mercy endures forever;
13 To Him who divided the Red Sea in two. For His mercy endures forever;
14 And made Israel pass through the midst of it. For His mercy endures forever;
15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea. For His mercy endures forever;
16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness. For His mercy endures forever;
17 To Him who struck down great kings. For His mercy endures forever;
18 And slew famous kings, For His mercy endures forever—
19 Sihon king of the Amorites. For His mercy endures forever;
20 And Og king of Bashan. For His mercy endures forever—
21 And gave their land as a heritage. For His mercy endures forever;
22 A heritage to Israel His servant. For His mercy endures forever.
23 Who remembered us in our lowly state. For His mercy endures forever;
24 And rescued us from our enemies. For His mercy endures forever;
25 Who gives food to all flesh. For His mercy endures forever.
26 Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever.
Hallelujah.
Even though it can be tempting for hurting people to feel forgotten by God, it’s a distorted view of God’s character to believe He has given up on anyone. God has not forgotten one single person on the planet, but many have forgotten Him. Our generation is living in an unprecedented time of evil. Many have chosen to turn away from God because they don’t understand His true nature.
God is love (1 John 4:8).
No one understands why such tragedy can exist in the world. There are things we will never be able to understand in this life until Christ’s return or after we reach our heavenly home.
However, there is one thing I am certain of more than anything else.
Jesus Christ loves us very deeply.
Our minds cannot comprehend how deep His love is. It is perfect. It is indescribable.
His love redeems sinners.
His love sets captives free.
His love heals.
His love comforts.
His love is enough.
As we turn toward God wholeheartedly with faith-filled prayer and truly live each day as conduits of the love of Christ, we will see change in our world.
Our Heavenly Father,
I am in awe of Your goodness. Thank You for Your enduring mercy and love. Thank You for hearing and answering our prayers. I lift up the people who have been affected by recent tragedies and I’m asking You to encourage those who have experienced excruciating circumstances. I know You are filled with compassion for the hurting ones. I ask You to comfort them in their sorrows. Fill them with the hope and knowledge of Your eternal love. Keep them in the palm of Your hand and fill the hole in their hearts with Your love and peace. Bring beauty to replace the pain and restore hope in their lives. Let countless people turn to You and trust You during the storms of life. Thank You in advance for the miracles You will do in the days ahead. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
