Mercy Doesn't Walk... It Runs!!!

Sometimes songs just get in my head or on my heart during the day... Sometimes they are there for a moment, other times they are there all day.... from my alarm clock snooze until the resetting of the clock that night....

Today the song "Mercy Came Running," by Phillips, Craig, and Dean, has been that song... It has just hung around with me all day... I didn't hear it on the radio... It is not on my iTunes.... It is not even particularly one of my favorites... but it has been on my heart all day.... specifically the chorus... here are the words:

Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy

Mercy came running to me

Aren't these just great words.... Knowing that God's mercy is running to us fallen sinners like a prisoner who has been set free.... Now you know He is running.....

It runs past all of our failures... right to the point of our need..... Lord knows we have a HUGE NEED!!!!

Even though our vision was blurred by our sin, and we could not even see the Lord, and there was no way we could reach mercy.... what did He go and do....

He sent it to us!

I am so thankful for music and the way God uses it to remind me of His truths!!!

Read this to see the truth of this song.... Ain't He Just Good!!! Have a great Friday!!!
