Cry Mercy
Isa. {2:5} O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the
light of the LORD.
1 John {1:5} This then is the message which we have heard of
him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is
no darkness at all. {1:6} If we say that we have fellowship
with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
{1:7} But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. {1:8} If we say that
we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us. {1:9} If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. {1:10} If we say that we have not sinned,
we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Micah ]{4:5} For all people will walk every one in the name of his
god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God
for ever and ever. {4:6} In that day, saith the LORD, will I
assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven
out, and her that I have afflicted; {4:7} And I will make her
that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong
nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion
from henceforth, even for ever.
Gal. {5:16} [This] I say
then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the
flesh. {5:17} For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the
other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Rev. {21:22} And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. {21:23} And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to
shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb
[is] the light thereof. {21:24} And the nations of them
which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of
the earth do bring their glory and honour into it
Gal {5:24}
And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts. {5:25} If we live in the Spirit, let us
also walk in the Spirit. {5:26} Let us not be desirous of vain
glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Walk in the light of the Lord.
Walk in the Spirit.
Walk the name of the Lord.
Walking in the light of the Lord God and the Lamb.
Walk in the Spirit-live in the Spirit.
Romans {12:1} I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
{12:2} And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of
God.
Be not conformed to this world.
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Psalms {51:10} Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
By the mercy of God.
God have mercy on us all.
Mercy.
Pro. {3:5} Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not
unto thine own understanding. {3:6} In all thy ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths
Have mercy on us oh God, have mercy on us please!
By the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord, we cry for mercy. Show us how to walk in the light of the Lord. Teach us to walk in the Spirit, to live in the Spirit. Renew our minds. Create in us clean hearts! Please Lord, renew our spirits.
We cry mercy...mercy.

Glorifying God.
How do you glorify God?
How should we glorify God?
God wants us to glorify Him. Our lives are to be lived glorifying God. The greatest thing we could ever do in life is glorify God. Living a life glorifying God.
Eph 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Tribulations for the glory of God?
Joh 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
Joh 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Joh 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
The works of God should be made manifest in the man blind from birth.
Joh 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
The works of God is that we believe on Jesus.
When we believe on Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we are doing the works of God. Glorifying God, giving Him the honor and praise, the adoration. When we have any tribulation at all whatsoever, large or small, we need to glorify God and do the works of God throughout the tribulation this is all God asks of us. To believe in Him through it all, through all of life no matter what comes. Easy to say. Horrors exist in our world that would rip apart the very sanity from a person and as we imagine the horrors and trying to glorify God during that horror it seems all but impossible doesn't it? When we are outside of the horrors, the heartaches, the pains, and sicknesses of life, we like to believe we can give glory to God throughout, but once we are in the midst of them it's not so easy. Should it be easy? Should our faith in God be strong no matter what comes?
Someone asked me recently if I were mad at God because of things happening in my life and I said no, and they said they would be. All I could do was say, no, I wasn't mad at God, I wasn't going to blame Him. I felt weak and near caving in but by God's grace I couldn't blame Him. And I mean it... by God's grace! Not by any special power of my own, not because oh, I'm just so wonderful or special quite the contrary. Only by God's grace can I hold fast.
I hear my daughter say- 'God's will be done.' When I don't want God's will to be a certain way and I want to say no... no don't let that be God's will. In fact she had the right of it. It wasn't that she was being callous at all, it was a faith that was manifest that even in the worst we need to pray God's will be done. We might not understand why or how or anything about the horrors that befall people, us included, but we have to pray God's will be done. God be glorified. God's works be done.
By the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior, the Son of man, the Son of God now and forever.
Amen.
