“Into the Depths of the Sea”
By: Ruby Acosta
Summertime is here and many of us enjoy the beach with its sun, sand and sea. The beach and its wonder reminded us of so many of God’s promises. Yet some of us aren’t able to enjoy the blessings around us because we are weighed down by our past sins. Is that you? Do you think your sins are too big to be forgiven? Don’t go one more day allowing your past sins to hold you back from experiencing a life forgiveness and freedom.
Look to the ocean and remember God’s promise; “You will cast our sins into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19). Your sins have been washed away. Do you believe it? He doesn’t remember or count our sins. Instead, He is busy thinking about you!
Let the sand be a reminder of the thoughts God has toward you; “How precious are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand.” (Psalm 139:17-18). Give all your sins to Him and be ready to freely receive all that He has for you. Let the light and warmth of the sun comfort you knowing He is for you; “For the Lord is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” (Psalm 84:11). God created everything around you for your enjoyment. Wherever you find yourself this summer believe that He is thinking about you and will not withhold any good thing from you! Thank God for His forgiveness and enjoy because you’re forgiven and free!
