A Lamp In Jerusalem

1 Kings 15:4-5
      "Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite."
 
     Only a truly humble person will realize the real expanse of God's mercy and grace, because only a truly humble person will see themselves for who they truly are in light of Who God truly is.
A humble person is honest enough to see the sin in their own life and how powerless they are you remedy it. They are honest enough to realize and acknowledge God and His unfathomable righteousness.

     In the history of Israel we see countless instances of grace and mercy being poured out on a rebellious, undeserving nation. Judgment does come on the unrepentant, but none can say God did not give them a chance.

      What are some instances of God's mercy in my life I can thank Him for today?
