Corona Devo 1907

There is a heaviness, a darkness, an isolation and a desperation in our guilt before God.

But there is a freedom, a release, a lifting and a lightening (of mind, body, and spirit) in the gift of God's forgiveness.

And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says, (16) “This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”    

(17) Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.”  

(18) And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.  ~Hebrews 10:15-18

Ahhhhh.  Forgiveness from God.  
Receive it (although unexplainable).

When we feel His forgiveness: the blinders-of-badness come off.  We exit the tunnel of heaviness and condemnation.  We relax in the Lord.  We breathe...and we live. 


Live for the Lord today.  He has forgiven us.  Of everything.  

How?  
God has made us holy through his Son.


For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

(11) Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. 

(12) But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.  ~Hebrews 10:10-12


It's okay.  God has forgiven us.
  • You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.  ~Psalm 86:5
  • Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.  ~Proverbs 28:13
  • All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: (19) that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. (20) We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. (21) God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.  ~2 Corinthians 5:18-21

  • Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. (22) But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— (23) if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.  ~Colossians 1:21-23


And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says, (16) “This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”    

(17) Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.”  ~Hebrews 10:15-17

Our sins are gone to God.  Thank you, Lord.  Let them be gone to us today.  Let's move forward in the light of the Lord's forgiveness. 

Let's live forgiven.  ...Because we are. 

Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.”  ~Hebrews 10:17

If God has chosen to forget (not remember) our sins, then we must also.

God makes a new covenant with us today.
"I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”  (Hebrews 10:16)

~~~

Ahhhhh.  Forgiveness from God.  
Receive it today...and live.


Blessings,

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from...

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who i...

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways....
