Each of the following devotionals, Jody and I have read and
been inspired by, through “The Upper Room”.
So much so, we wish to share them with all our friends! Enjoy and learn with us…
Read Psalm 103:7-18 (NIV)
As far as the east is from the west, so far has the Lord
removed our transgressions from us. –
Psalm 103:12 (NIV)
Today I was working in the garden and getting down and dirty
while planting the corn, green beans, lettuce, peas, carrots, tomatoes,
etc. When I went into the house to wash
all the dirt off my hands, I just couldn’t get that dirt from underneath my
fingernails. No matter how hard I scrubbed I just couldn’t
get all that dirt out of there. This
really got me thinking about the verse above that Jody read to me a few nights
ago. It hit home as to how the Lord has
removed our sins, but I, a humble man can’t even get the little dirt off my
hands. What a wonderful thing the Lord
has done for all mankind.
Our own attempts to wash away our shame or cover our sin
cannot succeed. But the forgiveness God
offers is above exceptional, excellent, extraordinary, and thorough. I need to be cleaned of the guilt and
released from the power of sin, and only God can do that. Each of us can confess our failures to God in
prayer and be cleansed and forgiven. God
is GREAT!!!!
Thought For The Day
Only God can wash away the stain of sin.
