- When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions. Psalms 65:3 – Let’s unpack this. When the guilt and shame of our sin presses down hard on us making us feel unworthy to come to God, God Himself makes things right and removes our sin. He removes what is keeping us from moving closer to Him. This demonstrates that God isn’t stopped by our sin from showing love to us. What presses us down doesn’t keep Him down. What overwhelms us doesn’t overwhelm Him. Don’t let the voice of guilt and shame deceive you into thinking God doesn’t want you. Jesus died so that sin no longer can have a say in how we approach the Father. Know today God has removed your sin from your story if you’ve placed your faith in Him. Come to Him free of guilt and shame because in God’s eyes you’re holy. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1001
- Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple! Psalm 65:4 – Whoever is chosen to be brought near and into the home of God is deeply blessed. They will find a contentment and deep satisfaction in their life because they have been brought into the arms and house of God. In most things in life, an offer like this is only for a select few, lucky winners. If you are the 10,000th person in or first to call you get the prize. If our God’s arms were small and house tiny then maybe that would be the case here….but that’s not the case. Our God’s arms are wide and house large. The promise of scripture is He has chosen all to come near and be invited in you His house. You have been chosen by God to be His and in His home with Him. As a result you are deeply blessed. Maybe the blessing isn’t in the shape of financial security or physical health, but if you’ve chosen to respond to God and follow Him, the blessing of being in His family and house is yours. Sure the blessing of money and healing of God can/may be given to you, but don’t set aside the blessing of being in His family as a second place gift. The deepest blessing anyone could ever receive is being called a son or daughter of God and if you’ve chosen to follow God that blessing is yours. If you have questions about how to become a part of God’s family, reach out! I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2025
