Today’s scripture:
Isaiah 63:7
As I write this devotional, I can’t help but think of all the tragedies our nation has experienced over the last several weeks.
Hurricanes. Floods. Fires.
The tragedy in Las Vegas.
Riots. Conflicts.
Hate.
Where’s the lovingkindness and mercy of God through all of this?
It’s hard to see goodness or mercy or grace—or love—when all hell seems to be breaking loose.
But I do believe in a loving God. I do believe He continues to offer grace and mercy to His children.
We live in a very sinful world. Generation upon generation has turned further from Creator God, and as creation rejects Creator more and more, He’s honoring our choices.
So, a perfect world becomes ever more imperfect. Man’s inhumanity to man grows darker.
And yet … if we commit our lives to the God who is still in loving control, we will see goodness. We will see mercy. We will see lovingkindness.
In spite of everything else we see …
