Traditional phrase used for churches that have LONG services or church people who “do that most” lol but fitting for this devotional because it’s only about one verse. And it’s not all super deep but MY GOD if it aint make me feel real good down in my spirit!
Today’s text is Psalms 100. Though you’ve heard it a lot and it only consists of 5 verses I want to concentrate on verse 5
“For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations”
Cue the shouting music! Lol Seriously though this verse has EVERYTHING in it just that easy! The Lord is GOOD in its most truest definition and that’s still an understatement! Next His MERCY! Where would we be without His mercy! Even if you haven’t been that “ratchet” of a person the bible says if you’ve committed one sin you’re just as guilty as if you committed them all (James 2:10)! So you still needed mercy! If you’re like me though and KNOW you got a good bit of sin that was piled up, most of which was AFTER you knew you were sinning you REALLY appreciate His mercy! And last but not least His truth endureth to all generations. That’s good to me on a couple levels. 1.) God is a consistent truth that is always right and always works no matter when you apply Him! For years and years, situation after situation, generation after to generation. You are guaranteed His results so He is good to pass to your friends, family and even your kids! 2.) The same way God is expecting us to live now is applied to everybody. It’s not like the rules ever change or exceptions are made for some people like in the world’s system. God extends everyone grace that brings about change and then rewards obedience. And disobedience is punished. Simple as that.
Not the deepest revelation but definitely something to encourage your heart…hopefully.
Over and Out J
