The manifestations of God's mercy

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The manifestations of God's mercy

The best way to understand and appreciate God's mercy is to observe it in action. The first reference to the mercy of God in the Bible is in connection with the rescue of Lot and his family from Sodom and Gomorrah. Whether they realized it or not, the family of Lot was in great distress because fire and brimstone from the heavens were about to rain down upon the two cities to destroy them and all of their inhabitants. Their very lives were at stake. Even though God had warned them of what was coming, they were lingering behind in the cities. Then in Genesis 19:16 we read, While he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.

In mercy God sent messengers to rescue Lot and his family. God had compassion on them and rescued them from their distress. Unhappily, Lots wife lagged behind and kept looking back and she perished, but Lot and his daughters escaped because of God's mercy. That was compassionate treatment of those who were in distress!

Psalm 136 sings of God's mercy like no other Psalm, and refers to repeated demonstrations of God's mercy to the children of Israel. Israel had been in great distress in Egypt, forced into slavery by the Egyptians. But God treated them compassionately, delivering them from Egypt and bringing them through the wilderness and settling them in the land of promise.
