THE GOD OF MERCY AND FORGIVENESS!

Daniel 9:9 – Devotional

Daniel 9:9

“To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him.”

I am so glad that we serve a Savior who blesses us with mercy and forgiveness that we desperately need, but absolutely do not deserve. The Pharisees of Jesus day were like proud peacocks trying to display their puny acts of righteousness.

Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and condemned them to remain just as they chose to be. On the other hand our precious Lord listened with favor to the honest confession of penitent sinners and they were cleansed.

God is a wonderful Savior who lovingly welcomes the humble believer who comes just as we are and rest in His arms of love and forgiveness. It is not what we earn or deserve, but it is what we terribly need.

I share my heart with you this day that I come to Jesus many times each day to receive His mercy and forgiveness. Not for salvation, that has been settled, but for restoration to be in right relationship at all times. Thank you Lord!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
