Mercy At Your Doorstep

Mercy At Your Doorstep Many of us have had experiences where at one moment everything was fine and the next we were stricken with bad news, a terrible accident or tragedy at our door. It is not what will happen that is important. What is important is how we respond to all matters in our lives when the .calamity hits. Jesus will come when we least expect it. His coming should not be a tragedy unless we have not lived as He taught us. Let us take time to read God’s word, put into practice those words of wisdom, apply those morals and value to our lives, and express only love and compassion to all we meet. When we try live as we ought, our daily prayers will always include prayers of forgiveness. Be prepared, for we do not know the day or the hour of Jesus’ coming. But with faith believe you will see the mercy of God fall upon your doorstep. Luke 17:26-37 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of them. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed all of them � it will be like that on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, anyone on the housetop who has belongings in the house must not come down to take them away; and likewise anyone in the field must not turn back. Remember Lot's wife. Those who try to make their life secure will lose it, but those who lose their life will keep it. I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken and the other left.' Then they asked him, 'Where, Lord?' He said to them, 'Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.'
