How honest are you? Really? We may think that we are but we are usually holding something back… something that we don’t want others to know. Yet, God knows ALL of our sins and there can be no deceit in our relationship with Him. He knows us…and still He loves us and He forgives us. What a great blessing that is to us!! We can live with that freedom knowing that our sins are GONE and we have been made NEW. Start each day with that assurance and live each day more fully with that great blessing from God.
You can send along this verse to your family, friends, and neighbors by copying this blog or by sharing this link. Ask if they know people who they feel are deceitful. Ask how trustworthy they feel those people are. Remind them that we cannot be deceitful with God. He knows us better than we know ourselves… yet, through the love of Christ, He forgives us and wipes away all of our sins. We have a clean slate with Him. What a blessing! Then Take Time For God’s Word© as you feel blessed today, then recall this verse as ’32:02’, and thank God for His forgiveness. You may consider setting your phone’s Reminders for 2:02 pm with the title ‘32:02 Psalm… Blessed is the one…’ We all need to be reminded just how blessed we are… sins are forgiven…no deceit left in us. Then we need to be a blessing to those around us. It may be a kind word… a loving act of giving… a prayer for a friend… and much more. Make each day count for Him. Be blessed…to be a blessing to others! Live life fully in Him!
We now focus prayers on all of the youth music programs and groups within our churches and our fellowship groups. Music is so important. It touches us with the words and with the melodies. Some words are so impactful that they stick in our minds for days. Some tunes cause us to hum them or to sing them over-and-over again. We want our youth to have that experience with the many great praise and worship songs. We want them to know and appreciate some of the great hymns of the past. We want their participation in the youth music groups to be one of their best memories from growing up. We want it to have that kind of impact on them. Support those programs. Encourage the youth and the youth leaders in this. Be a blessing to them as they are to you through their talents and efforts. Pass it on as one who is greatly blessed and forgiven.
