Etch A Sketch Forgiveness

Read: Psalm 103:7–13

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12

The little red rectangular box was magical. As a kid, I could play with it for hours. When I turned one knob on the box, I could create a horizontal line on its screen. Turn the other knob and voila—a vertical line. When I turned the knobs together, I could make diagonal lines, circles, and creative designs. But the real magic came when I turned my Etch A Sketch toy upside down, shook it a little and turned it right side up. A blank screen appeared, offering me the opportunity to create a new design.

God’s forgiveness works much like that Etch A Sketch. He wipes away our sins, creating a clean canvas for us. Even if we remember wrongs we committed, God chooses to forgive and forget. He’s wiped them out and doesn’t hold our sins against us. He doesn’t treat us according to our sinful actions (Psalm 103:10) but extends grace through forgiveness. We have a clean slate—a new life awaiting us when we seek God’s forgiveness. We can be rid of guilt and shame because of His amazing gift to us.

The psalmist reminds us that our sins have been separated from us as far as the east is separated from the west (v. 12). That’s as far away as you can get! In God’s eyes, our sins no longer cling to us like a scarlet letter or a bad drawing. That’s reason to rejoice and to thank God for His amazing grace and mercy. — Katara Patton

Why do you think God chooses to not treat you as your actions might deserve? How can you thank Him for separating your sins from you?

Loving God, thank You for forgiveness. Remind me that You no longer remember my sins.

Read The Forgiveness of God.

Bible in a year: Genesis 25–26; Matthew 8:1–17

Good evening, radu....you were quick! Are you emerging from the deep freeze yet?

We have just barely made it to double digits above.

[radu]

Yes, we had another day of mid 50s today but it rained all day. Now the rain has moved on and a cold front is moving in. A couple of days with highs in the 40s, then 50s for the next few days. For January, I’m not complaining!

I saw that you made it into double-digit temps this afternoon. The wind still makes it miserable outside, I’ll bet. BRRRRR

I just turned it on for the thread, and the ping just took 15 minutes. Hopefully, now that I am past the “big” one, maybe it will do better.
