A
reminder for today
"Get
away from all these people so that I can instantly destroy them!" But
Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground. And Moses said to Aaron,
"Quick, take an incense burner and place burning coals on it from the
altar. Lay incense on it, and carry it out among the people to purify them and
make them right with the LORD. The LORD's anger is blazing against them—the
plague has already begun." (Numbers 16:45-46)
Forgive:
It is amazing how many times the Israelites angered God
and how many times Moses pleaded with the Lord to forgive them and not to
destroy them. In so many ways they rallied against Moses and complained that
you would think Moses would let the Lord destroy them as He wanted, yet Moses
acted and pleaded with the Lord.
This made me think. How many times does the Lord Jesus
plead for us in a day? Have we anger God in such a way that He wanted to destroy
us? If we are forgiven so many times for our foolish mistakes, how many times
do we forgive other and do we forget or do we always hold it against them?
My dear friend, in forgiving we are set free. Anger and
hate are tools that the enemy uses to control us. By forgiving and forgetting we
are breaking the foothold of the enemy and we leave them no place in our lives.
Remember: Forgiveness goes both ways. You must also
forgive yourself!
I pray that you will forgive and forget just as the Lord
has forgiven you, in Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
