PSALM 77:9 (NLT)
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he slammed the door on his compassion?
ROMANS 5:20 (ABP)
The Law given to Moses amplifies our failure. But as awareness of our sinfulness increases, the Law also shows us how grand the grace of God is -- grander than all our failures.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's grace is greater than our sinfulness.
PRAYER
God, your grace is the good news that changes our lives. Forgive me for beating myself up when I fail. Help me to take my sinfulness seriously without letting it drag me down. I'm going to wallow in your grace. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
