Behold ,The Lord of Mercy!

A few days before the debate, I was praying and asking The Lord to have mercy on America. As the day progressed, I felt a lot of faith well up in me.I started to tell everyone I spoke with ,that Romney was going to win , and win big! I just felt He had heard my prayer of mercy. I went to have my devotions this morning and my Bible fell open to the first chapter of Jeremiah. As I read the account of a great old prophet, I felt the Holy spirit confirming His Words. We find in this great book, a story of Love and Mercy! Love for the children of Abraham, which he had promised,"Would be as the stars of heaven and the sand of the sea in number"! Sin had invaded every part of the culture, to the extent He had to bring judgement on the beloved. The Almighty and all seeing merciful God had to take charge of what was clearly a very bad situation for His people.Sending a young man, not yet mature ,to His people to warn them of the coming judgement, was the most practical way. Jeremiah was one of their own. The story is one of greatness,sadness and victory. It is like a lot of stories of human characters today. Stories of weakness toward sin and overcoming that weakness with His love and mercy. But most of all it said to me there is hope in The One I serve. Don't give up, even when things are at there darkest. For The Light is on It's way!
