September 14
God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22, 23). And He does not reserve His benevolence for only those who walk after Him in obedience and love. He does not lavish just His own who are born again, washed clean in the blood of the perfect Lamb, with the good things of life.
Jesus says in Matthew 5:45, “…He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good; He sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” Our Heavenly Father loves all His creation and gives to “…every man the measure of faith” Romans 12:3.
What a man does with this faith, what he chooses to believe, will determine whether he will worship false gods, commit heinous crimes in service to demonic entities, or bow before the Living Christ. Some people mistake their worldly successes or lack thereof for evidence of God’s disposition toward them.
This is an utter fallacy, for His true blessings are not measured in the temporal. Rather, they are, “From the fullness we have all received one blessing after another, grace upon grace” John 1:16. This grace will enable us to see His light shining in our darkness and will enable us to comprehend His blessings if we will but walk in that light.
