Good morning! A very foggy morning has arrived here in western NE, as another work week begins. I do believe there is but one week of summer vacation left for the kids around here; that must be some rough knowledge to bear. I'm blinking through the tears. Laughter? Sadness? No, just the allergy season again. Whatever plant causes my eyes to itch and water must be very successful this year.
This weekend I read more of the psalms of David. Every time I marvel at the trust David showed in the Lord. This man had much of what we desire, a kingdom, riches, wives, children, victory in battle... okay, we may not want victory in battle for ourselves, but we do pray for our military overseas fighting the war on terror. David did not have as much as his son, Solomon, but he certainly should have experienced few problems from the world's point of view. However, the Bible tells us differently. David spent time as a hunted man, more than once. At times he lived on very little and on the run. He sinned grievously and had it recorded for the generations to read, even to the present day, thousands of years later. How would you like your sins to be read by everyone a few thousand years from now? David was also known as a man of God, acknowledged by no less than God himself! That is forgiveness. We have that same forgiveness just for the asking. David's sins will not be read at the judgment day, because forgiveness erases those sins from God's record. Jesus died for our sins, and through believing in our hearts and confessing with our tongue, we too will have no sins to be read on that great day.
Live today in the blessing of Jesus!
