Yom Ri-shon, Tammuz 7, 6002 – July 2, 2017
In Forgiveness…
Many things are available to us in forgiveness. This morning as I thought of our Father’s forgiveness toward me, I felt comforted. Yes, I was thankful, happy, sad for the past… but mostly I felt comfort. If you have ever gone many days without enough sleep, maybe working toward an important goal, or just trying to keep a roof over your family’s head and food in their stomach, and you get that one day where you actually get to sleep eight hours, that is comfort to me. Without forgiveness from the Father, much evil could have befallen us all. But His forgiveness completely eliminates those past items from His memory as if they had never even existed.
Psalms 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
Today, let us take comfort in our Father and his mercy and forgiveness.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here with us as it is in heaven, and let us do it. Send us today Your overwhelming provision such that it overflows to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Utterly and completely remove every thought or memory of any evil done by us or to us, as far as the east is from the west. In that void heal us with Your oil of thoughts and memories of only You. Let us escape temptations, and deliver us from the evil here. This is Your kingdom, the power is Your power to Your glory, forever and ever. Restore right relationships among us. Restore the provision that has been taken or held back in any way, one hundredfold and the more besides. Let all men see Your mighty works in us, showing us a sign for good. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
