| Someone once quipped they suffered from amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think this is true of most believers. We sometimes find ourselves says, " I know I have forgottten this before". We certainly can forget the blessings of God, so it is good to recount them. God is so gracious to us that He even gave us a special way to REMEMBER our Lord's death until He comes back; "THE LORD'S SUPPER". He wants us to REMEMBER IMPORTANT things: He forgives us for our iniquities, He heals us all our dieseases, He redeems us, He loves us, He is merciful to us, He satisfies us, and He renewed our strength. God has given ALL these benefits to us through HIs Son,Jesus Ephesians 1:3. REMEMBER, God laid our sins on Jesus so we would not be punished "according to our iniquities" Psalm 103:10 Sinners must be punished and we are sinners. Our ONLY HOPE is that the' Lord is merciful and gracious v 8 toward us and that he chose a worthy substitute to punish of God's choosing. Jesus went to a criminal's cross, was crucified in agony, drank every drop of God's wrath directed at sin from the cup of suffering and then gave up His life. God dealt with Jesus, who knew NO sin as a sinner, so that He could deal with sinners as though they had no sin. Galatians 2:20 PRAISE the Lord now by recounting the ways He HAS BLESSED YOU...Father God, guide me today to DO ALL things that will bring GLORY and HONOR TO YOU AMEN FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Matthew 19:26 |
