Psalm 28
Mercy is not getting the bad you have
earned. Grace is getting a good you have not earned. We cry for mercy and grace
in order to be forgiven of our sins for which we have earned death and in order
to receive God's righteousness which we could never earn.
Everyone gets a reward. Some choose the
wages of this life which rewards in men's applause, wealth, comfort and ease,
etc... but carries with it the eternal reward of death. Some choose the wages
of Heaven in this life which rewards in men's criticism, poverty, difficulty
and tribulation, but carries with it the eternal reward of life everlasting.
God is my strength and my shield, my righteousness and my sacrifice, my grace and my mercy.
