God's Mercy is Our Pencil Eraser! (partII)

In part I, I discussed how the mercy of God is very similar to a pencil eraser.  Just think back (way back :)) when you were in your early grade school years.  Remember how important an eraser was.  You may have answered that two plus two is five, or maybe you left one of the e’s out when tried to spell green.  No matter the mistake, as long as you caught it before you turned your assignment in, you could just turn your pencil upside down and erase it!
Even though you actually answered the question wrong, when you erased that wrong answer, it was as if you never made that mistake.  You could have been penalized for that mistake.  It could have affected your score.  Depending on your situation, your mistake could have held you back.  Possibly, you might not make it to the next level!  However, that eraser is much more valuable than just a chewing toy ( I never knew why some kids chewed on their eraser--Yuck).  That eraser just saved your butt, and in my case I mean that literally.
That is exactly what the Mercy of God has done.  It has saved our butts!  Look at Titus 3:5, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.  I am so thankful that our God is a merciful God.  Where would we be without His mercy?  That is a scary thought.  The bible says that God is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4)!  You wanna know how rich God is in mercy?  Go with me to Lamentations 3:22, It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. (23) They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.  There will be days when you just do something stupid; there will be days when you say something stupid; there may be day when you mess up all day long.  When them days come around, repent to the Lord for your “mess ups”, and realize that God is cooking up a fresh batch of mercy in the morning!  Now that, my friend, is what I call being rich in mercy.
