Day 808: I loved doing this today and trust it really blesses you!
Scripture: He forgives all of my sins! Psalm 103:3a
Thoughts/questions: Today I will be using the One Word Bible Study Method from I am not, but I know I AM by Louie Giglio. (highly recommended to expand your view of God and minimize your view of self!!) We will look deeply at each word!!! (Colossians 3:16 – I am to let the word of God dwell in me richly!)
He - a whole song was devoted to this one word and was sung so well by The Righteous Brothers, and with the chorus of Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live, He’ll always say, I forgive! He – the eternal One; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; all-powerful, creator God, lover of my soul; friend; deliverer; the great I AM; savior; redeemer; beginning and end; my strength; my fortress; righteous judge; Prince of Peace; everlasting Father; King of Kings and Lord of Lords; and more – He!
Forgives - we sin; we need pardon; He forgives! Our debt is cancelled; our guilt is gone; our place in heaven reserved; we have peace with God; He sacrificed Himself; we are not perfect, just forgiven; undeserved; a humble action outside of Himself; easily obtained; white as snow; and more – Forgives!
All - I need this; I need ALL of my sins forgiven; my sin not in part but the WHOLE was nailed to the cross and I bear it no more; many; forgiveness is complete; Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; past, present, and future; nothing hidden; every one of them; and more – All!
Of – a connector indicating more information to follow about the preceding word or phrase; of what; of whose; what’s next; and more - Of!
My - mine; so personal; this is about me; He takes care of me; I was responsible; I once possessed sin, no more; from Him to me; and more – My!
Sins - missed His mark; continual; many; black; separation; need; guilt; repent; change; an inner battle; free; gone; and more – Sins!
Wow! He forgives all of my sins - God’s good thing – my Christmas gift!
Suggested prayer: Father God, thank You that I am free from the penalty of sin . . .
Memory verse on Psalm 103: May I never forget the good things God does for me! Psalm 103:2b
Larry, this is great! I’ve never seen anything like this before and I can see how it would be a great way to study shorter verses and to really delve deep into a verse. This is awesome – thank you so much.
I just found your site a few weeks ago when you were posting 1 John verses and I was doing a study of that book as well.
Thanks for your daily posts!
