God is still working miracles in the lives of his people today. Let that sink in for a moment. This reminder is necessary in our American society today, where belief in miracles is at an all-time low. People are more inclined to trust in themselves than in the God of creation and humanity. Though some believe that God stopped performing miracles when the Bible was compiled, the testimonies heard from people who have experienced it, including me, prove otherwise. God is still in the miracle-working business; his powers have no limits, and as long as we have limitations, God will continue to perform miracles. This is a call to believe that God is still performing miracles and wants to do so in your life.

What is the worst thing you have ever done for me; I can name myself on the top of my head. And as bad as it was, it can never disqualify me from experiencing the goodness of God, and it will never stop God from loving and doing good in my life. And I want to suggest today that what you think is an obstacle to what God has spoken to do in your life is nothing but a means for you to remember the kind of God he is as you interact with others. When we have been forgiven much, we are also able to forgive others much. Whatever God says he can do, he wants to do for you, not the others, but for you. It is God’s heart to do good towards you, which includes using you as a testimony of his goodness and faithfulness. NOTHING ever stops and changes God’s mind about you. NOTHING.

Mercy is a free gift of God given to us through Christ Jesus. We can access it daily without fear of rejection or discontinuance when we need it. It is available 24/7.

It is by God’s mercy that we are not consumed, but there are some things in our lives we want his mercies to consume. We want it to consume every lack, barrenness, and dysfunction to walk in God’s freedom and goodness.

God is not like man in that he should lie. He is also not like man in that he should fail. It is the assurance we can walk in during any situation that arises in our lives. We know that God is too faithful and committed to seeing us walk in his goodness to leave us where we are. So, the next time you hear a voice saying that you wouldn’t amount to anything or it wouldn’t work, don’t be afraid to speak back with confidence that the God who made me this promise is faithful to bring it to pass. God CANNOT FAIL, and he won’t start with you.

Mercy is God’s compassion toward us, which never fails. Because God is merciful, when we are underserving, we can trust that whenever we need to pull from his well, we can go boldly into his presence. His great mercies remind us that we serve a great God—a God who speaks and winds and waves obey. That is the God we serve; he is good and merciful.

God’s love for us is displayed daily. How it plays out has to do with our identity. It is God who calls us out of our limited understanding of who we are to become all he has for us. Only through hearing from God can we learn who we are, but it doesn’t stop there; we must be brave enough to take hold of his truths about us and walk in them.

God is good. This is not an assumption but a statement of fact: God is good. His goodness keeps us, protects us, and provides for us; like David, we have too many reasons to praise the Lord. We should not praise God only when things are going well but when they are not.

God dwells with us now. We often understand that God, in the form of Jesus, dwelled with us in the past but neglect to recognize that God’s presence in our lives is now; his presence is always present. God is with us; because he is, we do not have to fear loneliness. Because with God, we are never alone.

What is the cost of your future? Those who often get to their destination do so because what is in front of them is thought to be greater than where they are, and so must we. Going forward is the call, but the how will depend on your faith in God.
