We have seen such wonderful names of God this first full week of Lent. Rewarder, Forgiver, Promise Keeper, Light, Righteousness and Everlasting, each of these give us hope, thoughts to bring to God in prayer and repentance. Here is a continuation of the Psalm we started last Sunday, 103:11-19.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; How big is your God’s love?
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. Do you trust Him to thoroughly remove your sins?
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. Do you allow God to show you compassion?
14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust. Do you trust Him to number your days justly?
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, God knows were are fleeting.
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children, God covers us with his Love and righteousness.
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, God wins and has an eternal home for us.
and his kingdom rules over all.
Because Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead, I can know all things are Yes in Jesus and I can trust Him with all my questions. May your prayers be rich today and lead you to a deeper relationship with Him.
