Seek Mercy before Running Hard

[S] Romans 9:16 --
16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

[O] In the end, God has the last saying.  This is a universal truth which is not always accepted by man, including myself.  I can try to do it all but without God's mercy they will only lead to vanity.

[A] In everything I do, I need to seek His mercy first and put my actions into the right perspective before His throne.  That's what I have to remember in my workplace, the current crisis our family is facing, and how I want to live the rest of my life.

[P] Dear God, before I make the plans to run toward my goals may my heart reach for Your wonderful mercy and first soak it up fully so that all that I do will be under Your mercy -- my attitude, my energy, and my purpose.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
