Evening Prayer

[Diana]

Hi everyone,
Just a little prayer for the evening which again jumps out at me as I change my life and habits. Please don't think I am a religious nut but I love the Lord and know how many times He has been there when I needed Him. I'm a bit of a rascal at heart and sometimes wonder why the Lord keeps helping me.


Eternal Spirit, as I think back over today with its highs and lows, its joys and its sorrows, I realise yet again my constant need for Your direction and guidance. Help me to stay on course with the life you have chosen for me--especially when I have to sail against a wind that makes the going tough. May Jesus always be my Compass and my Light.

Amen.

It is 8.45pm here in Queensland and north of where I live has been battered by rain and wind. My son lives on his own 950 klms from here and is currently flood bound from the rain. There is currently a cyclone developing east of the coast in the area where he lives. Thank God for Messenger as we can talk a number of times during the day. Anyway, just a little bit of what is happening in Aust, Central Queensland and in the far north.

Warm Regards
Diana

I don't think you're a nut Diana,
I think you're a lovely, caring and compassionate person.
Thanks for sharing.

Why does the Lord keep helping me?

"For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jeremiah 31:34)
When we know the Lord, we receive the forgiveness of sins. We know Him as the God of grace, passing by our transgressions. What a joyful discovery is this!

But how divinely is this promise worded: the Lord promises no more to remember our sins! Can God forget? He says He will, and He means what He says. He will regard us as though we had never sinned. The great atonement so effectually removed all sin that it is to the mind of God no more in existence. The believer is now in Christ Jesus, as accepted as Adam in his innocence; yea, more so, for he wears a divine righteousness, and that of Adam was but human.

The great Lord will not remember our sins so as to punish them, or so as to love us one atom the less because of them. As a debt when paid ceases to be a debt, even so doth the Lord make a complete obliteration of the iniquity of His people.

When we are mourning over our transgressions and shortcomings, and this is our duty as long as we live, let us at the same time rejoice that they will never be mentioned against us. This makes us hate sin. God's free pardon makes us anxious never again to grieve Him by disobedience.
