Mercy & Grace

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
September 10, 2024: SOAP #5395: Lamentations 3-5; Revelation 15

(reworked from 2010) 

SCRIPTURE:  Revelation (NIV) 15:1 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed.

OBSERVATION:   There is an end to God’s wrath, but we never read of an end to God’s mercy or grace!  Throughout eternity we will be celebrating His Great mercy and grace!  His mercy will be seen in that we are spared in not getting what we deserve.  His grace will be seen in that we are blessed in getting what we do not deserve.        

APPLICATION:   In eternity will better understand the depths of hell from which His mercy has saved me, and the heights of heaven to which His grace has lifted me.  But I do not have to wait until I get to heaven to appreciate God’s mercy and grace.   Every day I can see their expressions around me.

PRAYER:   Lord, thank you for your great mercy and grace!  May I never take them for granted.  They are so much more valuable to me today, not only in expressions to me, but also through me to others.  Make me more like You.  Amen.
