God’s Mercies

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Genesis 32:3-13

I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies. —Genesis 32:10

Less than the least of all God’s mercies.” This was the motto 17th-century English poet and clergyman George Herbert engraved on his signet ring, and it was the phrase with which he signed his letters and books. Jacob had spoken these words when he pondered God’s goodness despite his own sin and shame: “I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant” (Gen. 32:10).

The word “mercies” is from the Hebrew word chesed, meaning “God’s enduring love.” I think it is significant that it rose from the heart of one who saw himself as utterly unworthy.

Relying solely on God’s faithful love, Jacob cries out: “Deliver me!” What an odd combination of thoughts: “I am not worthy . . . . Deliver me” (vv.10-11). Unlike some who seem to have it all together, Jacob knew that everything he brought to God had been ruined by sin. He thought of himself as a man undeserving of God’s grace. But his hope lay not in his worth but in the promise of God to look with favor on those who throw themselves on His mercy. Humility and contrition are the keys that open the heart of God.

As He did with Jacob, God hears us when we humbly cry out to Him for mercy.

For mercies so great, what return can I make?
For mercies so constant and sure?
I’ll love Him, I’ll serve Him with all that I have
As long as my life shall endure. —Chisholm

Mercy is an unearned blessing bestowed by God on an unworthy recipient.

Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 14-16; Mark 12:28-44

ED HONDA • HERALD/REVIEW

It’s been a wet winter. But you already knew that, if not from the
rainfall, then from the visual reminder of the snow atop the mountains
(shown). The National Weather Service says the Sierra Vista area has
gotten 3.09 inches of rain from Jan. 1 through the end of March 8 —
though amounts vary based on how rain cells move through. That
makes 2010 the 15th wettest year since records in Arizona began in 1900,
a weather service spokesman said.

[Kathy in Alaska]

You done good....*HUGS*

Main road this morning was plowed pretty well, but blowing snow was an issue...white knuckle time.

Getting out of MY street was interesting. 15+ inches of snow to push through. Once I get to the corner it is pretty smooth sailing....go straight ahead, or turn left (my way) are a bus route and plowed first.

It was a pretty calm day. Checks printed.

It is spring break, so no parents driving in and out each day to flatten the snow. End of the cul-de-sac, and right next to our house, is the bike path/bridge over to the elementary school. The sun was out today, but never got above 16 degrees. I expect slick roads tonight.

A good commute for you? Umbrella needed? Javalina? You gotten be careful.
