In Need Of Mercy

 “Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed:”

Exodus 15:13 records the song of Moses after Isreal had crossed the Red Sea, in this verse we are shown because of mercy Isreal was saved from Pharaoh.

What is mercy? And how can I get it?

In Matthew 20:29 as Jesus was departing from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude and two blind men sitting on the wayside crying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.” When the people noticed, Jesus did not stop to aid them, they rebuked the blind men, but the more they persisted to cry for Jesus.

The two blind beggars were in need of mercy for an issue they were born with. What evil were you born with? Then you too need the same mercy. What wicked tendency are you a slave to? Then you need the mercy of heaven that can set you free. What is God showing you, but you are choosing to be blind to? Then you are in need of strength to be made willing.

When the multitude tried to silence the two blind men louder did they cry, they did not take the refusal of Jesus as the answer, especially after Jesus said in Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind…”

When we know the available promises of God that are for us, no storm of doubt or fear can shake off our grip on the garment of Jesus.
