"Summer (4)" from Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Monday, 18 July 2016
Bible Reading: Psalm 103:1-13Psalm 103:(0) By David:

(1) Bless Adonai, my soul!

Everything in me, bless his holy name!

2 Bless Adonai, my soul,

and forget none of his benefits!

3 He forgives all your offenses,

he heals all your diseases,

4 he redeems your life from the pit,

he surrounds you with grace and compassion,

5 he contents you with good as long as you live,

so that your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.

6 Adonai brings vindication and justice

to all who are oppressed.

7 He made his ways known to Moshe,

his mighty deeds to the people of Isra’el.

8 Adonai is merciful and compassionate,

slow to anger and rich in grace.

9 He will not always accuse,

he will not keep his anger forever.

10 He has not treated us as our sins deserve

or paid us back for our offenses,

11 because his mercy toward those who fear him

is as far above earth as heaven.

12 He has removed our sins from us

as far as the east is from the west.

13 Just as a father has compassion on his children,

Adonai has compassion on those who fear him.

One summer day when I was a child, I played near our basement window. I was not paying attention to what I was doing, and I accidently broke the window.
I was afraid to tell my parents about the window. I even thought about pretending that I knew nothing about it. But I felt guilty, so I told my mother what I had done. She said I would have to tell my dad when he came home.
When Dad came home, I did not see him. Later I checked the window, and it had been repaired! My parents had talked about the window and decided not to punish me. They never mentioned the broken window again!
My parents were forgiving. Our Bible Reading today reminds us that God is forgiving, too. Verse 10 says, "We sinned against him, but he didn't give us the punishment we deserved." I am so thankful that God loves and forgives me. I hope you are thankful, too.[CW]
"And he has taken our sins as
far away from us as the east
is from the west."[Psalm 103:12]
PRAYER: God, please forgive my sins. Help me to be obedient to You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
