Nevertheless He looked upon their distress

When He heard their cry of lamentation;

And He remembered for them His covenant,

And relented according to the abundance of His lovingkindness.

β€” Psalm 106:44-45 LSB

Just a note that fascinates me: β€œNevertheless” means β€œin spite of what preceded.” That sounds a lot like grace and mercy. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I absolutely love defining words we are use to hearing, such as this. It helps me gain a deeper understanding of the scripture!

It sounds like a second chance to me. The God of second chances.

The apostrophe story reminded me of the joy and tittle statement in Matthew 5:17-18 Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, neither the smallest letter or stroke (jot or tittle) shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Reading this scripture bring tears… so many are humbled before Him with cries of lamentation. We know He’s in ultimate control but our flesh is uneasy.

May His grace & mercy flow in spite of what this nation has become.

Such a jewel from Psalms. What kind of love relationship is this? β€œWe love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). β€œWhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). All He asks is that we show a little humility, give Him a call, and learn how to be better people (2 Chronicles 7:14). β€œLearn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart” (Matthew 11:29). What kind of God is humble and gentle, and generous? Our God. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. β€œWhat no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceivedβ€” the things God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
