POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL
MONDAY 12TH MARCH,2018.
TODAY’S DEVOTION: BE FULL OF MERCY.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE. ”The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere” (James 3:17 NIV).
The Bible says wisdom is full of mercy and good deeds: “The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere” (James 3:17 NIV).
In other words, it’s wise to show grace to people when they mess up, when they blow it, when they sin, when they fumble, when they have faults, and when they fail.
Who is the wisest person in the universe? God. Who is the most merciful person in the universe? God. So, any time I judge, I’m being foolish. Any time I’m merciful, I’m being like God. And that’s wise! It’s wise to be merciful because God is merciful all the time.
Everything you have in life is a gift from God — even your next breath. If you got what you deserved, you wouldn’t be alive. Yet God doesn’t give you what you deserve. He gives you what you need. That’s mercy. Wise people give people what they need, not what they deserve. That’s mercy, and that’s wisdom. WISE PEOPLE DON'T EMPHASIZE OTHER'S MISTAKES BECAUSE THEY ARE MERCIFUL.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
“Love forgets mistakes; nagging about them parts the best of friends” Proverbs 17:9 (TLB).
Wisdom is full of mercy.
