Cry for Mercy | Feb.12th

"God, be merciful to me, a sinner!"

Luke 18:13

What shall be our plea before God? On what grounds shall we ask for mercy?

In this world, we often present all the positive reasons why someone should help us or give us some benefit in life. We explain how well we work, what we have accomplished, and why we deserve what we request.

Before the Lord, there are no such claims. There is nothing we can boast of or offer as merit. The only thing we can confess is that we are hopeless sinners. Our cry is mercy. We beseech God and His mercy. This is our only hope. Thankfully, we shall not be turned away but receive the mercy of God in Christ.

Let us seek the mercy of God today and confess our need for Him.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
