Scripture: Psalm 103: 1-2, 8-9
1 Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. 2 Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. 8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. 9 He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever.
Scripture Commentary:
We get angry with a person or a group of people and won’t let it go. Why is that? God not only forgets; He forgives and is compassionate and merciful. So, if we ask God to forgive us, why is it so hard to forgive others?
If we’ve truly surrendered to God, then we can forgive and forget. If not, then we haven’t truly committed to God. We need to think about everything God has done in our lives. He has forgiven our sins, healed our diseases, redeemed us from death and given us His love and compassion. And we have a chance to be with Him forever.
We get all this, and all He asks is to be faithful to Him and love one another. Let go of the past. God has. We have a clean record moving forward.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, follow the path He has given. You are fragile but God is all powerful. He knows your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t use your weakness to justify sin. Ask God for his forgiveness, wisdom, and spiritual strength to guide you through your life.
Thank God for His Son, Jesus Christ, and His love.
