TOPIC: Merciful God (DCLM Daily Manna 9 June 2026)
KEY VERSE: Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?. And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words – Zechariah 1:12
TEXT: Zechariah 1:7-15 (KJV)
7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
12 Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Years after the death of America’s beloved 30th president, John Calvin Coolidge Jr, his remarkable story became public knowledge. In the early days of his presidency, Coolidge awoke one morning in his hotel room to find a burglar digging through his pockets. Coolidge engaged the thief in quiet conversation and discovered he was a college student who had no money to pay his hotel bill or buy a ticket back to campus. The president counted $32 out of his wallet and handed it over to the trembling thief, declared it to be a loan, and advised the young man to leave the way he had come, to avoid the Secret Service. Unbelievable, but true!

In similar fashion, God’s treatment of Israel and His desire to point them on the right path is truly amazing. Instead of indignation, God said, ‘I will help them.’ God truly was displeased with Israel, but just like President Coolidge’s mercy for the thieving college student, He chose to help. God, in His mercy, always chooses pardon over punishment. While His anger boils against any furtherance of evil, His mercy pursues every avenue for reconciling men to Himself. “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy” (Zechariah 1:14).
God’s mercy is still available for all today. Though He does not delight in the sin and rebellion of the world, still He does not delight in their death and eternal damnation. It is His mercy that has been keeping the world from falling off the precipice, but this will not last forever.
While His mercy is at work, let’s quickly plunge into God’s healing stream. This is the best option for the sinner. The day of grace will not last forever. All those who scorn and reject God’s offer of mercy today will have to face His eternal judgment. Making peace with God through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, enables us to enjoy the full blessings of God’s providence and grace.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The most damning act is to shun God’s mercy
