The only reason the sun came up today,

• the only reason some clouds will give rain today,

• the only reason the earth will give air today,

• the only reason the land will give food today,

…is because of the mercy of God.

The Apostle Paul was consumed with the mercy of God because he had not been consumed by the judgment of God.

It is interesting to note that two of the Ten Commandments deal with sins of the tongue:

• The third commandment deals with profanity, the ninth commandment deals with perjury;

• The third commandment deals with talking trash, the ninth commandment deals with telling the truth;

• The third commandment calls for holy language, the ninth commandment calls for honest language.

The way a person verbally respects God, tells you a lot about how he personally relates to God.
