Sunday Psalm The Kindness Of God

Sunday April 18, 2021

 When we have admitted to ourselves and another human being the harm we have caused, the next step is to ask God to forgive us and free us from our self-centered way of living.  We need to switch from doing what is right in our own eyes to following the ways of God.


We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.  When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.  Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, to make his mighty power known …  He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.  Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.  (Psalm 106:6-8, 10,12 NIV)


The effects of nations choosing not to follow God are visible all around us.  Pride rules in human hearts and people come to believe that they know better than their Creator what is best for them.  Some choose to believe that God does not exist and that faith in God is just a crutch for the weak.  Others choose to believe that following God will not lead to a meaningful, purposeful life. 

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.  (Hebrews 11:6 NIV)

 The love and kindness of God is available to everyone who surrenders their will and life to Him.  He will rescue anyone who turns to Him for help and puts their trust in the truth of His written word.  Are we willing to believe God and receive new life from Him today?

 

Prayer:  Loving God, I want to believe You are real and trust You with all my heart.  Please help me to remember Your love and kindness towards me so I may joyfully follow Your ways in everything I say and do.  Amen
