Today I am thankful for: Crossroads, my haircut (feels better & no gray!), quiet mornings, my sweet children, my bible, Rachel
Josh and I officially became members at Crossroads tonight! It feels so good to really and truly belong, especially to a church that is so passionately committed to Christ and reaching others in His name. I look forward to serving!
Ok, so the Israelites make me want to bash my head against something hard! Over and over again, God shows how faithful and just He is, but they just don't learn! Joash breaks my heart--he served God so faithfully while he had Jehoiada to guide him. God blessed his kingdom, them Joash totally blew it! After Jehoiada's death, he so quickly forsook God, stoned Jehoiada's son for speaking truth, and God quickly turned away from him. That is so sad! But I know that I'm no different. When I'm not reading my bible and praying, it's so easy to fall into sinful habits. I have to remember that my sins are no better than those of Joash in God's sight. So when reading about the Israelites makes me so indignant, I need to remember that I'm no different! Instead, let me praise God that His Son's blood covers my sins, and that His mercies are new every morning--and that He ALWAYS takes me back, too, and pours out His blessings!
