My Devotional Journal:</b> Today’s Our Daily Bread Author,  John Blase … AT THIS LINK     … asks his readers what they think about when they hear the word “PROPERTY.”  And then the ODB author shows that we might think of the many properties of something like wood, … such as its strength or it’s texture or it’s resistance to water.   But then the author asks if we think about the properties of God, … one of which is His MERCY.      

And then our ODB author, John Blase, shows his readers how God’s property of mercy is on display so often in God’s word, … just as I’ve shared in the Scriptures above.  I certainly have personally experienced God’s mercy and his eternal forgiveness.  Have you?  If not, I’m stopping to pray right now that anyone reading here, what I write, knows God’s mercy and His love and His grace … first hand?  If you haven’t, contact me at billb13@icloud.com and I’ll tell you of God’s eternal properties of love, MERCY, and grace.        

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for showing me Your mercy.

 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again Lord. … for extending Your mercy to any/all of us who believe in You as our Lord and Savior. … Amen
