God does not keep a record of how we have failed Him to use against us.
“3If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?” – Psalm 130:3 (ESV)
I know that we will have to account for our lives when we get to heaven, but God does not hold that against us here nor when we get to heaven.
“4But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.” – Psalm 130:4 (ESV)
I am tasked with waiting on the mercy of the Lord. Each day I wait, knowing that mercy is coming, and already here. God does not keep a record and has already forgiven me when I accepted His gift of salvation. He will also provide even more mercy when I pass from this world in human death. I will join Him in heaven and the glory there.
“5I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; 6my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.” – Psalm 130:5-6 (ESV)
I wait for the Lord’s mercy each day. I know it is there and is to come, yet I continue to wait.
Are you aware? Have you accepted the Lord’s mercy in the now? Will you continue to wait for the Lord’s mercy to come?
