The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
Psalm 138:8 KJVThis verse alone is enough to lift up your spirit and give you a joy to make you step a little higher. David knew that God WOULD fix whatever was wrong in his life. He knew that God's great MERCY would endure forever. We are the work of God's own hands and he WILL NOT forsake his people. Have you ever really thought about how God formed man. When God created the heavens and the earth, he simply spoke them into being. When he created the animals, the fish, the birds of the air, he simply spoke, but when he made man, it was different. He looked over at his son, Jesus and said, Let us make man in our image. God wanted someone in his own image that he could love and have a relationship with. He could have just spoken man into existence, but man was going to be special. Man was created by the touch of God's own hand! He formed you and made you just the way he wanted you to be. And when he was finished, he gave you his own breath so that you might live. God never intended for man to die!! When Adam and Eve brought sin into the world that changed God's plan but it did not change his great love for what he had created. It did not change his MERCY. Sin brought with it the need for a sacrifice because without the shedding of blood there would be no forgiveness of sin and man would be separated from God forever.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
The blood of animals was never enough so God sent the one thing he loved most into the world he had created to be an ultimate sacrifice in order to redeem mankind from sin so that once again he could spend eternity with him.
God made a way to perfect me by the sacrifice of his own son. His great mercy endures forever and he did not forsake the work of his own hands. He loves you today and he has not forsaken you. He is just a breath away. All you have to do is speak his name. He said with the heart believe and with the mouth confess that he is...It's that simple to reconcile your soul to God and be able to spend eternity in his presence.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God made a way to perfect me by the sacrifice of his own son. His great mercy endures forever and he did not forsake the work of his own hands. He loves you today and he has not forsaken you. He is just a breath away. All you have to do is speak his name. He said with the heart believe and with the mouth confess that he is...It's that simple to reconcile your soul to God and be able to spend eternity in his presence.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
