God's Mercy at Work

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “God’s Mercy at Work.” Xochitl Dixon wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is 1 Samuel 24:1–10 with the key verse, “May the Lord judge between you and me.”, 1 Samuel 24:12. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

Our country is amid a terrible epidemic and worst economic crisis. There is civil unrest everywhere, the country is divided along racially and politically. Our President is under investigation for numerous unlawful acts. Many blame President Trump and his administration for lack of leadership and quick action to the virus. He is the President of the United States, and he must accept responsibility.

Our church recently did a sermon on respecting our government and supporting our government leaders. I respect the office that Donald Trump holds, but I cannot support his actions from a Christian point of view.

I do not wish any harm to him or his family. I just pray for him and the rest of our government leaders and place them in God’s mighty and merciful hands. Like the prayer below, I trust God to determine how justice prevails.

Reflect:

How can trusting that God is perfect, loving, good, and in control help you when sin seems to be prevailing? Who do you need to forgive and place in God’s mighty and merciful hands?

Prayer:

Merciful God, please help me trust You to determine how justice prevails.

My Prayer for You:

May God bless and help you to trust God to determine how justice prevails.
