Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-18

Psalm 145:8-9 (NKJV) 8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.

This verse came to me yesterday as I was crying out in prayer for someone dear to me. I felt very helpless at the time for this particular situation. Within my own understanding I just didn’t know how, nor could I even see a way out for them. I was terribly saddened and feeling a heaviness at that particular moment.

After praying, I opened my Bible and this is the first verse I saw. It was my answer!

This verse right here spoke volumes to me.

I had received a phone call on this day and I needed to go out and help someone with their situation. It was a bittersweet moment. I was happy to be able to be there to help, but the things I saw saddened my heart.

As I prayed for this person, their situation became real to me and I truly felt for them. I hurt for them. I wept for them and I tried to put myself in their place. I was asking myself what would I do and how would I handle it, if that was me.

To be honest, it was a very hard situation, and from my own understanding I drew nothing but a blank.

How many of us are drawing a blank today? It’s OK to admit this. Because God will come and He will fill in those blanks with His word.

The scripture above says He is gracious. This showed me that no matter how far down we get, His hand can reach us.

He’s slow to anger, and great in mercy. It’s not over for us. Don’t even think we’re done. He will help us fix this.

He is good to all. That means you, me and anyone going through trials and who calls on His name. His mercies are over all of His works!

Be encouraged today. God has our back! Amen.
