RACHAM: Tender Mercies – The Wonder of God’s Mercy

“Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.” Psalm 12:5

What kind of things move God’s heart? This verse shows He is moved by human suffering. He is moved when helpless people are man-handled by others…When his creatures find life hard and groan under the load…When hope seems to have vanished…When a deliver of only God’s capabilities is needed. Note that the deep longings of the soul are observed and noted by God. It appears that God’s longings and our longings sometimes coincide.

Pastor Tim Kerr
