God’s mercy is a key prerequisite for his favour. The Bible tells us that God’s eyes cannot behold iniquities and that, besides, all of our righteousness as humans are like filthy rags before God. Hence, we really do not have any basis for the sense of entitlement we often have towards God as humans. However, as seen in the Bible reading today, when the set time for favour comes, God’s mercy is activated because he has also said that he will have mercy on whom he will have mercy and show compassion on whom he will. When it’s the set time of favour, the prayers of the forgotten will be answered. Hence if there is one thing to ask for, it is that we are candidates of God’s mercy

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for your loving kindness and your faithfulness. Please Lord, make me a candidate of your mercy. Arise and favour me. Bring answers to my long-standing prayer request by your mercy 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
