"WITH HIM IS PLENTEOUS REDEMPTION." Mercy is of the Lord. His mercy never fails. Plenteous mercy dwells in God. It is one of His perfections. The exercise of it is His delight. There is mercy with the Lord in all His fulness; He never was more merciful than now, nor He ever will be. There is mercy with the Lord in all its tenderness: He is full of compassion, His fond feelings are exercised for us, His tender mercies are over us. There is mercy with Him in all its variety, meet for every case. Here is mercy that receives sinners, mercy that restores backsliders, mercy that surrounds believers. Here is the mercy that pardons sin, that introduces to the enjoyment of all gospel privileges, and that blesses the praying soul far beyond expectations. With the Lord there is plenteous mercy: He loves to display it, He is ready to impart it, He has determined to exalt and glorify it. There is mercy with the Lord; this should encourage the miserable sinner to approach Him; this informs the fearful, they need bring nothing to induce him to bless them; this calls upon backsliders to return to Him; and this is calculated to cheer the weary and worn believer, under all his troubles and distresses. Look to the Lord, for He is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.

For Meditation:
Believer, on the Lord recline.
His mercy's boundless and divine!
See from the cross how wide it flows,
Beyond the bound of all thy woes!
