Devotion

Knowing where to go and what to do is important to anyone’s life. This page will daily share with you what I am reading to show me just that. I daily read a bible based devotional and study the Bible. I find Psalms 119:105 “Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” and Psalms 119:98-99 “Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation.” to be very dependable.

How to Get Rid of Guilt

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by
the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger
for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. Micah 7:18. 

 

 I am glad indeed that our feelings are no evidence that we are not
children of God. The enemy will tempt you to think that you have done things
that have separated you from God, and that He no longer loves you, but our
Lord loves us still. . . .  

    Look away from yourself to the perfection of Christ. We cannot
manufacture a righteousness for ourselves. Christ has in His hands the pure
robes of righteousness, and He will put them upon us. He will speak sweet
words of forgiveness and promise. He presents to our thirsty souls fountains
of living water whereby we may be refreshed. He bids us come unto Him with
all our burdens, all our griefs, and He says we shall find rest. . . . 

    Jesus sees the guilt of the past, and speaks pardon, and we must not
dishonor Him by doubting His love. This feeling of guiltiness must be laid
at the foot of the cross of Calvary. The sense of sinfulness has poisoned
the springs of life and of true happiness. Now Jesus says, “Lay it all on
Me. I will take your sins; I will give you peace. Banish no longer your
self-respect, for I have bought you with the price of My own blood. You are
Mine. Your weakened will I will strengthen; your remorse for sin I will
remove.” Then turn your grateful heart, trembling with uncertainty, to Him
and lay hold on the hope set before you. God accepts your broken, contrite
heart, and extends to you free pardon. He offers to adopt you into His
family, with His grace to help your weakness, and the dear Saviour will lead
you on step by step, you placing your hand in His and letting Him guide you.

    Search for the precious promises of God. If Satan thrusts threatenings
before your mind, turn from them and cling to the promises, and let your
soul be comforted by their brightness. The cloud is dark in itself, but when
filled with the light it is turned to the brightness of gold, for the glory
of God is upon it.
