We witness mercy’s gift of the Resurrection in our daily, imperfect walk of faith. Jesus paid the ultimate price of forgiveness for our overwhelming burdens of sin.

A man’s obedience is to what he sees to be a need; our Lord’s obedience was to the will of His Father.
From Hebrews 10:9-10: “Then He added, ‘See, I have come to do Your will.’ He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. And it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

From Lamentations 3:55-56: “I called on Your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit; You heard my plea, ‘Do not close Your ear to my cry for help, but give me relief!'”
Facing distant horizon
Lingering darkness ahead
Knowing Jesus always hears
Providing His daily bread
Thirsting for living water
Drawing drink from Jacob’s well
Knowing Jesus always hears
Giving thanks, gratefulness swells
Waiting follows each sunset
Rising sunrise, full of hope
Knowing Jesus always hears
Scaling Zion’s mighty slope
Kneeling at Calvary’s cross
Praying for redemption’s seed
Knowing Jesus always hears
Harvesting from tender reed
Seeking His mercy’s comfort
Looking to heavens above
Knowing Jesus always hears
Responding with steadfast love
From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Jesus calls us to share a slice of His heavenly grace. Sometimes we may need to add a sprinkle of His patience.

The confession of the thief on the cross was both a first and final one. But . . . Christ received it. Maybe you never heard your loved one confess Christ, but who’s to say Christ didn’t?
From 2 Peter 3:9: “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.”
