I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy - Romans 9:15,16.
Our God us merciful and rich in mercy. For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm - Joel 2:13. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us - Ephesians 2:4.
God shows mercy to all those who fear Him, who love Him and keep His commandments, who call upon Him and who are merciful.
Fear Him
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him - Psalm 103:11,17.
Love Him & keep His commandments
Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments - Deuteronomy 7:9.
Call upon Him
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You - Psalm 86:5.
Merciful
Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy - Matthew 5:7. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful - Luke 6:36.
As the eyes of servants
Let our eyes look to the Lord as the the eyes of servants look to the hands of their masters until He has mercy on us. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He has mercy on us. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! - Psalm 123:1-3.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the God who shows mercy. Let our eyes look to You until You have mercy on us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
