HAVE    MERCY!!!!!!!!!


"FOR THE MOUNTAINS SHALL DEPART
AND THE HILLS BE REMOVED,
BUT  MY  KINDNESS SHALL NOT DEPART
FROM YOU,

NOR SHALL   MY  COVENANT OF PEACE
BE REMOVED,
SAYS THE   LORD    WHO HAS MERCY ON YOU."
(Isaiah 54;10)

***[ Please allow me a brief "parenthetical" interruption here.............
        Recently, while I was studying in the Old Testament,
        closer to the end of the Old Testament.........the text              
made a reference to " My covenant with Abraham and Jacob", and a footnote
gave a clarifying addition to the text: "At the time of
writing  of this part of the text...BOTH ABRAHAM AND ISAAC
HAD BEEN DEAD FOR MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND(1000)
YEARS.........THIS ILLUSTRATES HOW FAITHFUL GOD IS
 TO HIS COVENANT; AND THAT "GOD DOES NOT
CHANGE." (Malachi 3:6)---("JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME
YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER." (Hebrews 13:8)]*****

"And I will HAVE MERCY on her." (Hosea 2:23)

"Have Mercy" (Definiton):
Have Mercy, racham  ("rah - chahm"); Strongs # 7355:
To feel or show compassion, to love deeply, to show pity
or mercy; to tenderly regard someone; to tenderly love
(especially as parents love their infant child).  Rah-chahm
is the ORIGIN OF THE HEBREW WORD for  "WOMB".
(isn't that AWESOME OF OUR HOLY HEAVENLY
FATHER!!!!!!!)
Fathers, too, can show this feeling for their offspring
(Psalm 103:13).  GOD wants parents to tenderly love their
offspring and to show compassion toward all who are
weak and defenseless.  GOD sets the example by His
compassion for the helpless and undeserving (54:8, 10).

In Psalm 136 - GOD declares twenty-six (26) times -
'For His mercy endures forever"!!!!!!!!!

In Psalm 22:10 GOD wrote through David: "From
my Mother's womb YOU have been MY GOD."

So, you all help me out here now--------
"He put us together in our Mother's womb
(Psalm 139:13)

"From my Mother's womb YOU  have been
My GOD" (Psalm 22:10)

GOD says "I will have mercy on you" (Isaiah 54:10)

In various places in GOD'S WORD.....that together
form a principle called "The Law of the Harvest"...
Basically this principle teaches us that what we
"put out" (sew, give) is what we will Harvest/Receive.

A good example is found in JOB 4:8---"Those who sow
(plant/give) trouble reap (receive/harvest) the same."

Here on earth, we can plant one (1) grain of corn in the
ground; from that one grain/kernel can grow one stalk
of corn; and on that stalk will be several  "ears"
of corn.  Each "ear" has hundreds! of grains of corn.
Just picture in your mind "corn on the cob".

HOLY GOD wants us to (like HIM!) to
HAVE MERCY, to tenderly love, to love deeply,
to tenderly regard, to show pity.

OK now, as we do that,.....Just Guess--------
we will receive/harvest mercy multiplied!!!!!!!
And GOD will receive MUCH GLORY!!!!!!!!

And GOD'S Kingdom will grow/spread!!!

So I say to you:

May GOD'S  MERCY be MULTLPLIED to You, and
through you!!!

"FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER"!!!!!!!!
(see Psalm 136:1---26)

S  D  G    Soli Deo Gloria  (for the glory of GOD alone).
