… that are examples or definitions of God's mercy to you. Here's what it says, Psalm 103, verse 2 to 11. I will not forget the glorious things that God does for me. He forgives, you might circle that, he forgives all my sins. He heals me, that's mercy. He ransoms me from hell, that's mercy. He surrounds me with loving kindness, that's mercy. He fills my life with good things. He is merciful and tender. Toward those who don't deserve it, that's mercy. He's slow to get angry. I'm glad for that, that's mercy. He never bears a grudge. Aren't you glad for that one? Some of you don't believe that. You think that something you did a long time ago, God's still trying to get even with you for it. Anything bad happens in your life, go, God's getting even with me. God, it says, does not carry a grudge. He's not getting even. How many times have you heard me say, God is not mad at you, he's mad about you. …
… Shove your neighbor and say, Remember it different. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. I'm choosing to forget some things so I can clear out some space so I can receive some things God has given me. Clear it out. It's the Manasseh effect. Here it is. God can do one thing in your life. God can send one person in your life. God can send one opportunity in your life that will make you forget everything you went through to be in this place, make you forget about how bad it hurt every time they said no, make you forget about all the years you thought it was never going to happen. It'll make you thank him for all the things that didn't come to pass. You'll say, if I wasn't here, I couldn't have had this. God is working in your life. His word does not return void. He has given you more than enough. This is the Manasseh effect when you say, I remember when we opened this building, and I remember that we were late, but I choose to remember that even though we were late getting in, God did it. I choose to remember that even though it didn't unfold according to my schedule, it unfolded according to his sovereign purpose. I am preaching about the Manasseh effect, because now, generations later, the tribe that is named after the boy who made Joseph forget has forgotten. …
… 1 to 2, and that middle section, 8 to 18. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever. He does not treat us as our sins deserve, or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. For he knows how we are formed. He remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass. He flourishes like a flower of the field. The wind blows over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. …
