Psalms 123:3-4
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
Our soul has had more than enough
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud.
Truth: Only God can relieve us from the stress of life
In this Psalm (123) we have the writer crying out to God for relief from the stress of life that is often caused by the people in our lives. There are people in our lives who wish to do us harm and who wish to make life tough for us. The nation of Israel is an example to us of what can happen when you live as people of God, the children of God, in a land that rejects God. The only deliverance we have from them is to toss ourselves onto the mercy of God. We have the ability to trust Him because He gives us the gift of faith. We need His mercy. He renews His mercy to us each morning. It is that mercy that keeps back what we deserve. Without God's mercy would be judged for being the sinners that we are. Praise God for mercy!!
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
