and whose sins are covered;
blessed is the one against whom the Lord will not reckon sin.
Reading the passage that I was supposed to write this devotion for over and over for about a month, I wanted to say something wise, something that someone might copy and paste and send to someone else. But I was having trouble finding “the true meaning” of the full passage assigned because it also talked about wages and circumcision. Then I re-read the instructions and it said “choose one or two verses”. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just make things harder than they have to be. There was beauty right smack dab in the middle of the assigned passage!! The beauty of the Lenten Season:
Sinners are not only forgiven, but they are BLESSED! Once sinners ask for forgiveness, they are BLESSED…….and God will NEVER reckon with that sin again! The sin is gone!
We make our faith so much more difficult than it has to be sometimes, when the answer is always right in front of us. We are forgiven and BLESSED!
