www.PastorJohnsHouse.com<\/span><\/a><\/span> contains instruction from Psalms about how to wait on God to obtain or receive mercy from God, if mercy is to be given.\u00a0 If the man who wrote that Psalm was trying to get even, or trying to excuse his sin, he wouldn’t have been able to receive mercy, if God granted it.\u00a0 Mercy would have passed him by because his heart would not have been ready for it.<\/p>\nHe really didn’t know what God would do, but he confessed his sins to God (he was honest with himself), got still before God, and was asking for mercy from God.\u00a0 What else could he have done if he wanted to be restored?\u00a0 He understood that no one could help him but God.<\/p>\n
This Psalm had a hint of Job in it, as far as people watching him to see what happened next.\u00a0 The difference is that Job’s godly heart was being tried, while this man was reaping what he had sown.\u00a0 Still, they both knew that mercy from God was their only help for healing and being restored back to fellowship with God.<\/p>\n
This blog put more fear of God in me.\u00a0 It is real and it is life.\u00a0 There are no coincidences.\u00a0 God is fully in control, and if we are not fully trusting in God (as I stated in my cancer story), then we are not trusting in God at all.<\/p>\n
Just as God revealed to us who He is by giving the Ten Commandments, he has revealed more of\u00a0 Himself to others in the Psalms, especially about His Son.<\/p>\n
This blog is right on time.<\/p>\n
