Awakened to Deliver – Week 8, Day 5: Mercy in Action

Welcome to Awakened to Deliver, a podcast from Fishtok4Jesus Productions. In today’s episode, Jeff Fish encourages us to put mercy into action. Mercy is not just a concept—it’s a lifestyle of serving, forgiving, and loving others as a reflection of God’s heart.

Our key verse for today is Micah 6:8:

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
