In times of struggle and failures, remember:
1. The Forgiveness of God * Hosea 3, 9:1; 4:12; 6:5-7 * In spite of the people's unfaithfulness, God is ALWAYS faithful and His love is unconditional * Hosea 2:14, 16-17, 19-20
2. The Mercy of God * Psalm 51, Matthew 5:3 * The Hebrew word for loving-kindness points at God's covenant loyalty and faithfulness. * Need to appeal to His mercies, compassion, for our multitude of sins * Blot out my transgression - * Wash me from My Iniquity
As we reflect on last year and look towards this year, fix your heart on the LORD and who HE is. Rest on the beach of safety, swim towards the shore of restoration. |
