Confession, Forgiveness, Cleansing

Psalm 51
David  confesses his sin. He prays for God's forgiveness. Confession and forgiveness - the two go together. We confess our sins. God forgives our sin. Forgiveness is God's gift. He gives his gift when we confess our sins to him - "God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we’ve done wrong! (1 John 1:9). When we confess our sins and receive God's forgiveness, we rejoice in this: "the blood of God's Son, Jesus, cleanses us from every sin" (1 John 1:7). We give thanks to God: His gift of forgiveness is not only for the beginning of our life of faith - "The vilest offender, who truly believes, that moment, from Jesus, a pardon receives." It's for the whole of our journey of faith. The blood of Jesus keeps on cleansing us from all sin.

May God's Blessing Surround You Each Day ...

God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).

Guidance From "A Man Of Macedonia", Guidance From God

“During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’ After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the Gospel to them” (Acts 16:9-10). Paul’s guidance came through ” a man of Macedonia.” His guidance came from “God.” We look at the human situation. We ask the Lord, “What do You want me to do?”

Lord, You come to us with bread and wine. You come to us in Jesus, our Saviour.

Proverbs 9:1-18 Lord, You come to us with bread and wine. You come to us in Jesus, our Saviour. You come to us in love. You show us how much You love us. There is no love like Your love for us. It’s the best love. It’s the greatest love. It’s love “so amazing.” It’s love “so divine.” Thank You, Lord, for Your wonderful love.
