1st Chronicles 16:34

1st Chronicles 16:34, and what it means to all People!!  By Anthony Joseph Hopkins July 27, 2024

       1st Chronicles 16:34 says O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.  I give thanks unto the Lord on a daily basis.  What is the definition of the word mercy?  Mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.  So, to me, mercy is a “love that responds to human need in an unexpected or unmerited way.” At its core, mercy is forgiveness.

The Bible speaks of God's love for sinners – that is, for all of us. But the Bible also relates mercy to other qualities beyond love and forgiveness. Mercy is also compassionate or kindly forbearance shown toward an offender, an enemy, or other person in one's power; compassion, pity, or benevolence: Have mercy on the poor sinner. the disposition to be compassionate or forbearing: an adversary wholly without mercy.  What is the difference between kindness and mercy?  Kindness is a quality of being generous and considerate to someone, and mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom is within someone's harm.

Next, mercy consist of forgiveness that is shown towards someone who is harmed.  Anyway, back to the subject at hand.  1st Chronicles 16:34 is very true.  His mercy endures forever.  This is the truth because God is always around for all of us.  God is merciful and forgiving.  God is the center of my life at this time.  God continues to love me, and accept me for who I am.  God loves all of us.  He knew us from the time that we were inside of our mother’s womb. 

Further, the Lord has been good to me for the past 59 years.  The Lord God has been by my side; even when I might have forsaken him myself.  You see, God wants me to change the way I talk to myself.  Whenever we get to the point in life that when we feel depressed and sad, God wants all of us to enjoy a life filled with Him.

 For the past 59 years, I have managed to enjoy God’s goodness, even when I was rebellious.  My grandparents and mother sent me to church for a reason.  My parents wanted me to be filled with the Spirit.  My parents wanted me to become a God-Fearing Man.  By becoming a God-Fearing Man, I would become Christlike.  I will admit that I did what other rebellious children were doing.  I also admitted that I have a conscious. 

Finally, I want to inform everyone that I used to associate myself with street gang members for 18 years.  Even though, I attended church on a regular basis.  I still had a problem with my mouth.  The tongue is a consuming fire.  The tongue defiles a man.  What comes out of man when he is defiled is murder, rape, robbery, fornication, and a bitter heart.  God remained close to me.

  I want to inform all of you that grief lives in the past.  Grace looks forward to the past.  Grace liberates, and grief incarcerates.  The Holy Spirit is inside of us.  Goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.  The Lord is good for all of those who continues to obey him.  God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, please Lord gives me the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  Just for today!!  God loves you, and I love all of you for the rest of my entire life.  God Bless You!!
