Today God says:
"I will forgive all your iniquities, and heal all your diseases".
He promises me:
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies". (Ps. 103:2-4)
My response to the word:
The multitude of God's blessings in my life exceed my memory's ability to contain them all. He has been and continues to be so wonderful to me. Throughout this day, therefore, I will command my soul to bless Him because I know He has forgiven me all my sins and He heals all my diseases. He has redeemed my life from destruction, and He has crowned me with lovingkindness and His tender mercies.
My prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for all the benefits you've given to me. I will walk in awareness of your lovingkindness and tender mercies throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins". (Luke 5:24 GW) "(Prayers offered in faith will save those who are sick, and the Lord will cure them.) If you have sinned, you will be forgiven". (James 5:15 GW) "God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, He forgives them and cleanses us from everything we've done wrong". (1 John 1:9 GW)
Quote for today:
Some fancy that they can slay guilt by burying it, not knowing that guilt thrives underground. Faith knows that guilt can only die as it is brought to the surface, faced and forgiven. (R N Williams)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
