“It
is certain that God blesses believers precisely and invariably by
blessing to them something of his truth and that misbelief as such is in
its own nature spiritually barren and destructive.
“Yet anyone who
deals with souls will again and again be amazed at the gracious
generosity with which God blesses to needy ones what looks to us like a
very tiny needle of truth hidden amid whole haystacks of mental error. . . .
“Every Christian without exception experiences far more in the way of mercy and help than the quality of his notions warrants.”
—J. I. Packer, Keep in Step with the Spirit, 2d ed. (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2005), 21-22.
Ain't that the truth! Thank God for his mercy which is abundant and
endures forever. How little each day do we think about or realize how
much of what happened that day is because of God's mercy.
