THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION!
October 31, 2024OH THE GRACE AMAZING!
November 2, 2024“DEUS MISEREATUR” are Latin words, which simply mean, “GOD HAVE MERCY.” This is taken from Psalm 67:1a
– “1 God be merciful to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us,
Selah” – Psalms 67:1
What a wonderful prayer, these words are – GOD HAVE MERCY.
If these words form the foundation of our prayers, every day of our lives, with all earnestness and sincerity, that would be more than sufficient. *What we need is, and all that we would ever need is, God’s mercy and grace, and the rest, if we need any, would be taken care of by itself.* John Calvin, commenting on Psalm 67, has similar thoughts to express, albeit, much more eloquently…
– “…it is noticeable that…he traces all the blessings they received to God’s free favour; and from this we may learn, that so long as we are here, we owe our happiness, our success, and prosperity, entirely to the same cause.”
Charles Spurgeon commenting on “DEUS MISEREATUR” in Psalm 67:1, has these insightful observations for our benefit…
– “The best saints and the worst sinners may unite in this petition.”
What is our prayer this morning? Are we burdened with the cares and the concerns of our lives? Do our needs and necessities press us to the point of being crushed? So what is our petition to our LORD, this morning? Take heart dear friend, the LORD Jesus is concerned about us. The LORD Almighty cares for us. One look at the Cross of Calvary, and we would know instantly, what mercy and grace is. Isn’t that great news? It sure is my friend!!!
Let us make, “GOD HAVE MERCY,” our constant prayer, day in, and day out, as we enter into a new month – November of 2024. Let us always seek, God’s mercy and grace, and we would need nothing else. We who have tasted the Redeemer’s mercy and grace, and found its satisfying sweetness, would we need to seek something else? Everything else is of no good at all. May we always pray, “DEUS MISEREATUR” – “GOD HAVE MERCY.”
