If you woke up this morning with blood running through your veins, and life still in you, then you have another chance at second chance to live life again.
And it does not matter how many times you fail, how sinful you have been, how wicked you have been, or how far you think you have fallen away from GOD, today is a NEW day.
And if you woke up this morning to see a NEW day, then GOD’S grace and mercies are NEW for you today.
For as long as you have life in you, then you can always repent, and turn back to GOD.
But there is no repenting or turning back from death and the grave, so we should take advantage of GOD’S grace and mercy today, because no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
For some people did not wake up today, and things happen concerning life everyday, that we have no control over.
(Isaiah 43:18-21) You, Do not Remember the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
“The judgment seat of GOD’S mercy!”
When I stand before the judgment seat of GOD, I will explain to GOD, that life was hard.
I wonder if I can plead insanity to GOD, would HE listen to my plea.
Just some things I wonder about, some things I see.
My vain imaginations, things I know can never be.
Or will GOD say, “away from me, you that work iniquity, I never knew you.”
But yet I’m living in the land of the living.
Given another chance at a second chance, alive and living.
Failure and disappointment were the seeds I was given.
But I realize the enemy had done this to me, so I can never see or experience true change.
They say it’s insanity to do the same things over and over again, expecting things to change.
Now If that was a plea for insanity, then truly we are all insane.
And the world is mental institution pumping us full of morphine, to numb life’s pain.
But I can feel it, I can feel it in the air, I can sense it everywhere, change is in the atmosphere.
So today I choose to love, and not to hate, for as long as I have life it’s not to late.
And today I get another chance, at a second chance, at a NEW beginning, to change…….
A psalm, The judgment seat of GOD’S mercy, by Reese Kemp.
(Romans 9:15-33) For GOD said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that show mercy. For the scripture said unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore GOD has mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens. You will say then unto me, Why does GOD yet find fault? For who has resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who are you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus? Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if GOD, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As he said also in isaiah, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. Isaiah also cried concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabbath had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrha. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
