“O LORD, I have heard Thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive Thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy” (Habakkuk 3:2 KJV). Mercy is never earned nor deserved. William Shakespeare, English poet and playwright (1564-1616), penned about “The Quality of Mercy”:
The quality of mercy is not strain’d.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesses him that gives, and him that takes.
‘Tis mightiest in the mightiest, it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God’s
When mercy seasons justice.
Father, exalt Yourself. In wrath, remember mercy. You alone can do this. Move upon the hearts of Your people to petition You so. Cause there to be a Remnant upon which You would manifest Your mercy. Cause Your mercy to be a gentle rain upon the parched ground of man’s inhumanity to man. In wrath, remember mercy. In Jesus’ name, we petition You. Amen and amen.
