Recently, I was reading Psalm 101:1 - "I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O Lord, will I sing."
I would like to share Brother Charles Spurgeon's comments (in part) on the first part of this verse:
"David would extol both the love and severity, the sweets and the bitters, which the Lord had mingled in his experience; he would admire the justice and goodness of the Lord.......
Everything in God's dealings with us may fittingly become a theme of song, and we have not viewed it aright until we feel that we can sing about it.
We ought as much to bless the Lord for the judgment with which He chastens our sin, as for the mercy with which He forgives it; there is as much love in the blows of His hand as in the kisses of His mouth.
Upon a retrospect of their lives, instructed saints scarcely know which to be most grateful for -- the comforts which have cheered them, or the afflictions which have purged them."
How is it with us, dear brothers and sisters? Are we singing of BOTH the mercy AND the judgments of God in our lives? If yes - praise the Lord!
If not - let us be quickened by God's grace and Spirit to at once lift our hands and praise Him, acknowledging that He deals with us in kindness, intending to work ALL things for good for those who are the called according to His purposes!

Blessings in Jesus!
This lifted my heart this day.
Manifold blessings, sweet sister!
