Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Morning Godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret. Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.—If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.—The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. My iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me! “So you, by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God.” The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.—He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? 2 Cor. 7:10; Matt. 26:75; 1 John 1:9; 1 John 1:7; Ps. 40:12, 13; Hos. 12:6; Ps. 51:17; Ps. 147:3; Mic. 6:8 (Read full verses...) Evening “‘Is all well with you? . . .’” And she answered, “All is well.” We have the same spirit of faith.—As punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. . . . So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 2 Kings 4:26; 2 Cor. 4:13; 2 Cor. 6:9, 10; 2 Cor. 4:8-10, 16-18; 3 John 2 (Read full verses...) << Nov 11 | Nov 12 | Nov 13 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
