His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. — Luke 1:50

God's mercy rests on those who fear Him, generation to generation. This isn't the cringing fear of a slave but the reverent awe of a child who knows His Father is both good and great. He hides them in the secret of His presence and draws near to those who tremble at His word. You don't earn mercy by fearing Him; you position yourself to receive it.
