"God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.
Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
For You render to each one according to his work." Psalm 62:11-12

As we continue our look into Psalm 62, King David speaks of God's mercy and of His judgment according to man's works. Let's see what Scripture says about these.

Concerning mercy we see that:
It is eternal:
"But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children." Psalm 103:17

It is boundless:
"For Your mercy is great above the heaven, And Your truth reaches to the clouds." Psalm 108:4

It prolongs life:
"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,  Because His compassions fail not.
 They are new every morning;
 Great is Your faithfulness."  Lamentations 3:22-23

It encourages to repentance:
"So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness..." Joel 2:13

It forgives sin:
"Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in mercy." Micah 7:18

It makes salvation possible:
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:5

Concerning the Lord's 'rendering according to man's works' we see:
"For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works." Matthew 17:27 (Here Jesus is revealing to His disciples the prophecy of the Second Coming.
In verses 13-28 Jesus makes several revelations to the disciples: the person of the King; the church; His death; His reward and the above prophecy.)

The Apostle Paul encourages the Corinthians and us concerning future reward in 2 Corinthians 5:9-10:
"Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may received the things done in he body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."

"And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your sojourning here in fear (true reverence)." 1 Peter 2:17

"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books." Revelation 20;12

Then Christ Jesus tells us in Revelation 22:12, "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

I close with Revelation 22:14
"Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."

As Paul encourages, let us make it our aim to be well pleasing to the Lord allowing the Holy Spirit to have full sway of this life we have in Christ.
He is Lord and He is in control of all things! We are safe in His hand and in the Father's hand! Praise His Holy Name! Amen
