"10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." - Psalms 103:10-11
Many airplanes travel at incredible heights when flying to their destinations. If you have ever flown by plane, you know what it is like to be 32,000 feet in the air. To put in perspective God's mercy towards us, just imagine being that high above earth. That's how great his mercy is towards us. No doubt, there are days when we really mess up. But it is good to know that God's love is greater than all of our sin. Without his love, we would just be orphan children wandering through life. Psalms 103 says that, "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him." We are not orphans because God is our Father and cares for his children. Do you love your children? Do you still love them when they break your heart? So does God. He is filled with compassion toward us at all times. And though we may do things that displease him, the fact still remains that he loves us in spite of all that. King David did many things in his life that displeased the LORD, but God forgave him time and time again. Abraham also, and all the saints. But they all serve as examples to show how great God's mercy is towards them that love him. It is higher than the heavens above the earth.
You don’t have to look far to find a good reason to be apprehensive for your future, for your children’s security and further down the road, for your grandchildren’s hope. This message can give you that hope.
When I was in the world, I wondered why so many professing christians acted like they did. When I started studying Holy Scripture, I understood. They serve a different God then what Scripture defines.
https://www.ChristianHomeandFamily.com - after years of studying the scriptures and considering my own failures and sins, I have put together this quick lesson regarding our propensity to sin and the reasons for it. You can learn about how body, soul, and spirit work together and how your flesh affects the way you live. It's really helpful to know. This is part of my video course "New Life Is No Joke" which is in the works! https://www.ChrsitianHomeandFamily.com/newlife
https://www.ChristianHomeandFamily.com - I've heard so many people praying in worried, anxious, distressed tones that I wonder if they actually remember WHO it is they are talking to! Prayer should be a time of rejoicing that we have a God who is powerful and capable and that He actually WANTS us to bring Him our cares and concerns. I'm not saying you have to be calm when you pray. I'm encouraging you to analyze the attitude you have when you pray. Is it an attitude of worry, anxiety, or fear? Or is it an attitude of trust? Don't be a prayer worrier, be a prayer warrior!
https://www.ChristianHomeandFamily.com - We live in a day when "self esteem" has been championed as the be-all end-all of personal well-being. But is that really true? What the Bible says about the way we view ourselves has very little to do with how good WE are, or how much WE have accomplished. It has much more to do with God... so you could say we don't have a self esteem problem, we have a God esteem problem - we don't esteem God enough!
https://www.ChristianHomeandFamily.com - You know what an ostrich does when things come along that it doesn't like... it sticks its head in the sand. Do you do the same thing when it comes to communicating about things that really matter, things that are awkward, or things that you really don't want to face? As believer in Christ, we have to face things head-on, in the power of the Spirit, and let Him lead us into a healthy way of relating. Don't be a relational ostrich... communicate!
https://www.ChristianHomeandFamily.com - You can learn (and teach your kids) how to hear the voice of God through things that are all around you. Couple that with His word and you have a sure fire way to drawing closer to Him day by day. Don't allow yourself to miss out on the great things He's doing and saying all around you!
