Nov 9
Start over and over…
“ Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning” Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
The bible points out that our wrongful actions and words, sins, should erode and decay our very being. Not only that, they deserve to be punished like a criminal. The word in this verse is ‘CONSUMED’.
BUT, for no reason except ‘compassion’ on His part, He allows us to be forgiven and “start over”.
When we mess up, fail, fall short…instead of guilt and defeat, we can START OVER. ‘New every morning’ a fresh start! And we don’t have to wait for morning, we can confess and start over throughout the day.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heaven Father, thank You that when I accepted Jesus I was given the right to confess sins and keep “starting over”. In His Name. Amen.
