01-10-08 Lost and forgotten -- Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. -- Psalm 103:12One day I was out walking along a trail out in the country. Just for the fun of it, I picked up a piece of gravel and threw it far out into a field. After I had done that, I felt a voice inside me saying, "Go find it."
I knew instantly that finding that rock was impossible. There was nothing to mark where the stone had fallen -- only marshy grass spread out for dozens of acres in all directions.Then I felt the Lord speak to me, "That's what I do with your sin."
God removes our transgressions from us. He takes away the guilt. He takes away the shame. He takes away the power. He takes away the desire. He takes all of this away because sin isn't part of a true eternal son or daughter of God. Sin is just part of the fake self that is passing away.
Be encouraged!
