3. Show mercy. Ezek. 36:21.
I will show mercy because of my name. Israelites lived among the nations and profaned the name of the Lord yet was zealous to protect His holy name, he loved the Israelites and showered his blessings upon them. He shall not allow his name to be profaned among pagans(v.20, 20:9, 14,22) – Israelites rebelled against God five times: in Egypt(20:2-9), in Wilderness(20:10-13), In Canaan(V.14-26) and during Ezekiel period(2:30-32) – God keeps everything in record. When people scattered among the heathen, the pagan said the national God of Israelites failed to protect them, he is powerless. So God sanctified his name and his people(36:23).
4. Leads me in the paths of Justice. Ps 23:3
God has created us, he has redeemed us from the bondages of Sin, from the clutches of Pharaoh. God leads us in the paths of justice, grace and righteousness. He loves all of us. He has redeemed Israel. He loved Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, therefore he leads us in the paths of Justice. He knows our weaknesses and all our problems. No one can do injustice to us. Laban wanted to harm Jacob but God never allowed him. Ps 31:3 Show me the way I should go because of your name. Pr 30:7-9 two things from the Lord. Neither poor nor rich.
