What kind of mercy do you need today?

I will extol you, my God and King,
    and bless your name forever and ever.
2 Every day I will bless you
    and praise your name forever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
    and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall commend your works to another,
    and shall declare your mighty acts.
5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
    and I will declare your greatness.
7 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
    and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 The Lord is good to all,    and his mercy is over all that he has made.

(Psalm 145)

The Psalmist begins with words of praise for the LORD's greatness.  Over and over he declares the greatness of His name, acts, and character. His greatness flows with His goodness, which causes the psalmist to land on His grace, mercy, and love - in particular His mercy. We know from another Psalm that His mercies are "new every morning", and these acts of mercy come from His character of being merciful. What is amazing is that God shows mercy to all His creation - His fallen creation. Taken along with His grace, He gives us what we do not deserve and does not give us what we do deserve.  What kind of mercy do you need today? It may be due to the weather, your age, your sickness, your job, your family life, or your sin. God has mercy for that.  Will you receive it?
