Shade Tree Wisdom 12/5/15


          Here is one verse, among many others, that always brings ease to my soul. It is this:
“As far as the east
Is from the west, so
Far does He remove
Our transgression
From us.”
Psalm 103,12

          Elsewhere He speaks about drowning our sins in the depth of the sea, to remember them no more. It speaks about forgetting, and that is what we humans find hard to do. “I’ll forgive him, but I won’t forget.” is often what we say in our anger. Now think of that? Are we really forgiving if we don’t also forget, put it out of our mind altogether. 

          Now see how comforting it is to have the Lord assure us our sins are drowned in the depths of the sea. I’ll leave you with this thought.
