For some unknown reason, all week long I have been one day ahead. So in my mind, today was Friday, not Thursday.
For the second time in the past thirty days, I forgot it was Thankful Thursday. What is wrong with me?
In Bible study we have been studying some of the minor prophets and recently we spent two weeks studying Hosea. This book of the Bible is all about God's love and mercy for His spiritually adulterous people. Even though Israel has turned away and prostituted themselves with other gods, the Lord God loves them and desires for them to confess their sin and repent; He wants to show them His mercy.
I am eternally grateful for God's mercy in my life -- the forgiveness he extends to me when I really deserve His wrath. God's immeasurable mercy and Christ's willing sacrifice on the cross for my sins enable me to be welcomed into my forever family as a child of God. What could be better than that? : )
