Jeremiah 21; Zechariah 2; Romans 11

Weekly Theme: 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

God can be trusted. He is faithful. That is one thing you can count on. When we confess our sins He forgives them. Depend on it. But, all too often, we still struggle with guilt. Did God forgive? Yes. Then why do we continue to wallow? One of the reasons is that deep inside we don’t take God at his Word. Hanging on to our guilt, the pity party is like calling God a liar! No God you really didn’t forgive. I don’t believe you. Now we are in danger of another serious sin. A person who has a clear conscience is also a person who has learned to trust God. God is faithful. Do you have faith?

Lord, I admit, I have not always taken you at your word. I want to change that. Please forgive my lack of faith. I believe that you are faithful. I believe that you have forgiven me. I want to live a life of faith that results in a guilt free and joyful life. Thanks for your great gift!
