March 8, 2025: Scriptural Devotion for the Day

Isaiah 38:17 "Behold, for peace I had great bitterness(Or, on my peace came great bitterness): but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."

Micah 7:18-19 "Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. (19) He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."

Isaiah 54:7-8 "For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. (8) In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness Will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer."

Jeremiah 31:34 "And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

Psalm 32:1-2 "BLESSED is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. (2) Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile."

1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

2 Timothy 1:12 "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed (Or, trusted), and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."

Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (21) Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

2 Corinthians 9:8-9 "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (9) (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever."

Hebrews 2:18 "For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to *succour [*assist in times of distress for relief] them that are tempted."

Hebrews 7:25 "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost (Or, evermore) that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

Jude 24-25 "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, (25) To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

(Let us once again look at 2 Timothy 1:12): "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."

Philippians 3:21 "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."

Matthew 9:28-29 "And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. (29) Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you."

Oh, Beloved, what a wonderful thing that God has done, in sending His Son to us to bring us Salvation, the forgiveness of sins! When we approach Him in sincerity and faith, all sin past, present and future are obliterated, cast away to behind him, into the depths of the sea, never to be remembered again!

Because of our Faith in Christ Jesus, steadfast and immovable and thus our faith in Him must be, we can be assured of sometime suffering persecutions and hardships (as countless have and even unto death, but death has no more sting for those in Christ Jesus!)

The Lord Jesus Christ through the Power of His Holy Spirit gives all who believe and trust in Him the strength and rest of his indescribable Peace as they stand in the faith of their Salvation through Him, their redemption secure whether in the passing of the physical body on earth, or at the glorious and triumphant shout of Christ upon His Return for all believers.

Jesus, as He sits at the right hand of Father God, intercedes on the behalf of every believer, standing against every accusation of Satan. That old serpent is a defeated foe, and he goes about this earth trying to deceive, if possible, even the elect (all believers). This deception grows stronger by the day as we see the very end of the End Times we live in approaching. And after which, after the Return of Christ to take all believers home to Heaven, both those who sleep in death and those who are alive and remain--the antichrist steps on the world stage.

Jesus is able to both save us through His Redeeming Blood and to heal us through his redemptive Power. Jeremiah 17:14 states, "Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise."

1 Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on (Or, to) the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."

Thank You, O LORD GOD, for Your Beloved Son, Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, who both saves and heals us if we but ask! And for your profound and all-encompassing protection from all works of wickedness and evil and peril, for though we may experience these things and they see to overcome us, they certainly will NOT as Jesus has given all believers in Him the victory, both now and in every believer in Christ Jesus and in future with Him!

The battle belongs to the LORD.

Amen!
