3212Psalm 27:4
One thing have I
desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of
the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to
inquire in His temple.

“Benignity” in Greek
is chrestotes, and in Latin it is benignitas. Benignity or mercy of God is
His gift for us which we don’t deserve. God’s mercy doesn’t look at what you
have done. Why? It’s because, even though you are sinful, God has given you His
life. When you have mercy upon someone else, it’s not based on what he/she has
done for you. If Jesus becomes your example, then you should have mercy upon
other people. When they hurt you, would you still have mercy upon them?
Chrestotes
means kindness and tolerance toward others. When your heart flares up and says,
“what is God’s mercy because I haven’t received it yet?” Romans 2:4 says, “Or
despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not
knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?”
This scripture
reminds us to count God’s mercy. One of His mercies is when you can breathe up to today. Do not ever underestimate it when you can breathe freely today. That you are saved from deadly accident, that’s one of
His mercies as well. Indeed, that you can stand in your faith now, it’s because
of His mercy.
Psalm 94:17-18
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had
almost dwelt in silence. When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held
me up.
Behold and inquire every kindness from God, and give Him praise.

Apakah Anda rindu menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat pribadi dalam hidup Anda?
Ikuti doa ini sekarang:
“Tuhan, saya mengakui bahwa saya orang berdosa. Saya membutuhkan Engkau. Saya percaya bahwa darahMu sanggup menghapuskan segala dosa dan kesalahanku.

Dalam nama Yesus aku berdoa. Amin”
