“’But you will perish among the
nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. So those of
you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquity in the lands of
your enemies and also because of the iniquities of your forefathers they will
rot away with them.
“’If they confess their iniquity
and the iniquity of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they
committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me – I also
was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their
enemies – or their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled, so that they then make
amends for their iniquity,
“’then I will remember
“’My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember
also
“’My covenant with Isaac, and
“’My covenant with Abraham as well,
“’and I will remember the land.’”
Leviticus 26:38-42
“If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” I John 1:9
God has a plan so complicated, so
detailed and so interwoven that no human mind can fathom His greatness. Part of His plan has been in place since the
fall in the Garden of Eden, ‘planting the seed’ for our redemption.
Throughout the Old and New
Testament God’s Word offers us so many instances of man’s turning away from God
to do what they think is right in their own eyes! Such a common way of thinking that we can
forget His faithful, gracious promises are there for our good … and His glory.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.
