What does Psalm 103:12 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
God has moved away from our sins as far as the east is from the west. But the important word is taken out. When we mess up and apologize to God, He doesn't just forgive us. He also cleanses us of all wrongdoing. What was wrong with me is now right with Him. What used to be dirty is now clean. Why? How? We can now see more clearly what the Psalmist could only know in part. God doesn't look at our sins, but at what Jesus did for us. His blood makes us clean and pure. Sin is gone, and we are clean.
Prayer
Thank you, Father of mercies, for not only pardoning but also cleansing me of my sins. I am grateful that because of the blood of Jesus and Your gracious desire to pardon, I can stand before You holy and faultless. I now ask You, Holy Father, to empower me with Your Holy Spirit so that my actions will be a reflection of how highly You hold me in Jesus. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
Give God, our Father, praise and thanks. He doesn't just forgive us for our sins; He takes them away from us.
Prayer
Thank you, Father who loves and forgives, and God who is holy, for giving me the great gift of forgiveness. Now, dear God, please help me tell other people. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
