"And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors".(Matthew 6 vs 12). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.
It is instructive to observe that in PART ONE of Today's Focal Scripture,Jesus taught His disciples to pray that God will forgive their debts. Jesus taught His disciples that God can forgive them when they fall into sin. He inadvertently announced to His disciples that there is forgiveness with God. God is willing to forgive when the sinner is willing to ask for forgiveness.
Jesus' assertion presupposes that there may be times when we would sin against God. His assertion states that in our walk with God we may offend God,and be in need of His forgiveness. Jesus was simply saying that when we walk into sin against God,there is a provision for forgiveness.
One strategy of the enemy is to make us dwell in the guilt of what we have done instead of embracing the forgiveness Jesus already paid for on the cross. Sometimes we continue in sin because the devil makes us feel we have sinned beyond remedy.
Beloved,there is forgiveness of sins with God. There is forgiveness when we confess our failures to God.
Do you feel you have offended God? Do you feel God must be disappointed in you by your actions? Are there things you can't tell others but you know they really hurt God?
Just open your mouth now and ask God for mercy for every sin you have committed knowingly or unknowingly;He is ready to forgive. Divinity misses your company. Jehovah is in love with you. Hear the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit saying,"Come home".
Pray with me,"Lord,forgive me for every sin I have committed knowingly and unknowingly in Jesus name".
Have a Fabulous Friday!
