Victory!

Victory

Week 37, year 2! (Sunday-Shabbat)

Every day we see people whose lives are fraught with confusion and dismay. As Believers, we don’t have to live like this. Why? Because, hallelujah, Yeshua, our Messiah, took all of our sins and was crucified, so we would no longer have to carry the weight and consequences of our sins/shortcomings. All we have to do is ask for His forgiveness, and His blood will cleanse us.

When our children were little, I used to illustrate the Lord’s forgiveness in this way. On a white board, I wrote all of the shortcomings we had that day. Then we prayed and asked for the Lord’s forgiveness. After the prayer, I erased all of the sins. They were gone – totally gone. And that is exactly what the Lord does with our sins: His blood wipes our slates clean. We no longer have to carry the penalty of our wrong. We no longer have to have lives filled with hurt, anger, nor dismay. He has set us free; we have peace with God. God promised in Romans 8:1-2a, ESV, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ ….”  Praise the Lord!!

“No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.,” Romans 8:37, NLT.

Precious Lord, every week we come before You. You continuously amaze us. Your love, Your daily direction, & Your answers to our prayers are fantastic! Thank You! Lord, we ask that You forgive us of our sins. That You come into our hearts and make us new people. Take away our hard hearts and give us gentle and tender hearts. We want to follow You and to love others the way that You do. Bless our families, our soldiers, our country. Turn our hearts to You and bring Your peace to J’lem. In Your awesome Name.”
