"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on 30 July 2011"
Today's Blog Title: "A Confession of National Sin"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 106:1-48
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 106:1 "Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever."
Psalm 106 is a wisdom psalm and it rehearses much of the same history covered in Psalm 105. The two chapters are companions, even though their perspectives are different. Psalm 106 emphasizes the rebellion of the the Israelites despite the unchanging goodness of God. Psalm 105 is about remembering while Psalm 106 is about forgetting, specifically the Israelites forgetting God's mercies.
God's people failed to respond to Him even after His miraculous works for them. After calling for Israel to praise the Lord (verses 1-5) by confessing the nation's historic faults and failures (verses 6-46), the confessional prayer ends with an appeal for deliverance (verses 47,48).
The first step toward our redemption is to honestly look at our sins and failures and bring them to God. Self-examination is painful, but it is necessary for us all.
Today's Hymn: "Your Kindness"
Waiting for angry words to sear my soul, knowing that I don't deserve another chance;
Suddenly the kindest words I've ever heard, Come flooding through my heart
It's Your kindness that leads us to repentance O Lord;
Knowing that You love us no matter what we do, makes us want to love You
It's Your kindness that leads us to repentance O Lord;
Knowing that You love us no matter what we do, makes us want to love You
Heavenly father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, may we as Christians look at our lives to see where we are falling short of giving You our all. Provide us Lord with Your everlasting love and strength so that as we live for you we will be the branches that bear much fruit for You.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Believers are empowered not in proportion to their need, but according to God's strength"
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
