You are forgiving and good, O Lord

Psalm 86:5: You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Our poverty and wretchedness, when felt, powerfully plead in ourown behalf at the throne of grace. The best self-preservation is to commit ourselves to God's keeping. We are one whom thou favourest, has set apart for yourself, and made partaker of sanctifying grace. It is a great encouragement to prayer, to feel that we have received the converting grace of God who is Jesus, have learned to trust in him, and to be his servants. We may expect comfort from God, when we keep up our communion with God. God's goodness appears in two things, in giving and forgiving. Whatever others do, let us call upon God, and commit our case to him; we shall not seek in vain. Same time forgiveness is a sweet blessing. But God does more than forgive! He cleanses and forgets. He loves not metered out or carefully rationed. He is pouring love upon us if we genuinely seek Jesus as our God. So let's pray and ask for God's forgiveness and praise the mighty and holy name of The Almighty, confidently knowing that our Hevealy Father longs to bless us with goodness, mercy, and love.

Let us Pray...

Loving Father, we call to you wanting you to know how important your love and forgiveness are in our life. Thank you for sending Jesus to show your love and pay the debt of our sin. Help us to live today as your child: may others see our joy and our passion for you as we seek to live for your glory. In the name of our Savior, Infant Jesus, we pray. Amen.
