In this sermon The Covering Of Mercy, Mercy is condescending love, reaching out to meet a need without considering the merit of the person receiving the aid. God's judgments are numbered but His mercies are without number. We are surrounded by a multitude of mercies as we worship God. Each sinful or harmful event of life should prevent us from entering His presence. But, each one is covered by his mercy, even the ones that still have an effect on us. There are only two ways to "short circuit" God's mercy in your life: UNCONFESSED SIN (Proverbs 28:13 - He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.); and UNFORGIVENESS (Matthew 5:7 - Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.) One of the most common prayers is "Have mercy on me!" We are saved and kept by mercy.
