Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Mercy TriumphsJames 2:13
No. 152
Mercy triumphs over judgment.James 2:13

James is talking about how we treat people, but it also describes how God has treated us. He would have been just to judge. He chose mercy. And people who have received that mercy tend to give it. People who forget they received it tend to judge.

Reflect

Is there someone in your life you're judging where mercy is actually called for? What would mercy look like?

Prayer

Lord, I've received so much mercy. Make me generous with it toward others. Let mercy triumph in my relationships. Amen.
