The mercy of the Lord, lasts forever, to those who fear Him. I've mentioned in past devotions, "To fear the Lord, is to resist evil!" These scriptures go along with that too. Those that fear the Lord, keep His covenant and do His commandments. Notice these scriptures say, "To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them." This is another point, I've tried to make. The only way to remember His commandments, is to read your bible daily! I'm sorry if you think I stretch this point too much. I really feel this message is one of my callings. I feel strongly urged to teach the importance of reading God's Word. Anyway, how can we have the mercy of the Lord, if we fail to read His Word? We can't because His mercy is for those who, fear Him and those who fear Him, follow His commandments. The only way to follow His commandments, is to know His commandments and remember them by reading His Word, on a daily basis. I know a lot of you come here looking for help or answers. You come here for answers and over look the best place and that's the bible. It would really bless me, to know at least one of you read your bible daily, due to my messages. The Word of God, is an important part of my life and once you get into it, it'll be an important part of yours too. Without the Word of God, you're struggling with life's issues and you just don't know what to do. You don't have the Lord's mercy, because you don't know His commandments to follow them and your life is miserable! You can either be like a child who is very well nourished and grows to be strong by reading the Word or you can be a miserable dying child, with no hope, food or mercy! I know a lot of you don't agree with this message, of reading the bible daily. But if you just give it a chance and see how much you grow from it. Once you start reading the bible, you won't want to go back to the former miserable way of living!  I'm challenging all, to embark on a journey of mercy! Start reading your bible daily, try it for six months to a year and I guarantee a change for the better! You're going to be much happier and have more mercy! If you do accept this challenge, it's best to begin reading in the New Testament. The New Testament, gives us all the commandments, that we need to live by. The Old Testament, is important too as it teaches us more about God and shows us why we should be thankful Jesus, came.

If you accept this challenge, keep us updated and tell us if you accept. You may either post about it on the message board!

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you'd bless those who take this challenge. I pray that you'd reveal the truth of your Word to them and give them ears to understand. I pray that you'd show everyone the importance of your Word. Please forgive us of our sins and we forgive those who've done us wrong. In Jesus, name. A-men!
