Flooding the earth

Nehemiah 9:19 KJV — Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.

The word for manifold is the same word used to describe the great wickedness on the earth that caused God to flood it (Genesis 6:5).

Great enough to flood the earth.

That’s how great the wickedness was.

That’s how much greater God’s manifold mercies are towards you.

God cares for you so much that He is not willing for you to be overwhelmed by what you deserve.

God’s great compassion towards you covers you like the waters cover the sea.
