FAITH IN GOD WHO WANTS US TO BE FORGIVING
October 9 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Matthew 18-19
Key Verse – Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
FAITH IN GOD WHO WANTS US TO BE FORGIVING
God wants us to be forgiving by His compassion
While settling us away from hatred’s oppression
Amidst our need for His example’s supervision
So that we can be guided toward faith’s heavenly vision.
God wants us to be forgiving by His righteousness
While stressing to us confession of our sinfulness
Amidst our repentance while seeking His graciousness
So that we can be strengthened toward faith’s steadfastness.
God wants us to be forgiving by His reproof
While stopping us from grumbling spoof
Amidst our submission under His blessing-roof
So that we can be filled toward faith’s abundance-proof.
God wants us to be forgiving by His discipline
While shutting us out from murmurings’ din
Amidst our supplication for pardon of admitted sin
So that we can be upheld toward faith’s humble win.
God wants us to be forgiving by His truth’s empowerment
While sanctifying us from disobedience-sentiment
Amidst our pursuit for divine achievement
So that we can be purified toward faith’s commitment.
God wants us to be forgiving by His warning
While shaking us of our trust that is waning
Amidst our desire to be Scripturally learning
So that we can be transformed toward faith’s refining.
God wants us to be forgiving by His divine pleasure
While snatching us from drowning into pride’s pressure
Amidst our promise to serve Him with devotion we assure
So that we can be satisfied toward faith’s eternal treasure.
