If you haven't noticed, we're kinda under God's judgement right now. Until the COUNTRY turns back to God, I don't expect Him to step in.
2 Chron 7:14
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
[14] if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Mercy rides alongside judgement.
Judgement is discipline, in hopes of turning us to repentance. And TRUE repentance isn’t just saying “I’m sorry, forgive me, I was wrong.”
No.
True repentance is doing all that PLUS turning 180° and walking/doing/obeying HIM. Judgement never rides alone.
Mercy is Judgement’s companion.
I’ve noticed. But God is merciful and hears his people even in times of judgment.
