How Can I Be So Blessed?

Scripture: Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

Observation: I can’t even imagine how many sins I’ve committed over my lifetime. Yet because of what Jesus did on the cross they won’t count against me. I know the man I’ve been and I know where I should go, but because of God’s mercy He allows me to escape my just punishment and rewards me with His grace and eternal life with Him. So with all that God has blessed me with , why do I still sin?

Application: I need to put Jesus sacrifice in my heart and take it with me wherever I go. Before doing or saying something that may displease God go to my heart and ask what I should do. I need to stop trying to please myself and start putting God first in my life. I’m His creation and truly have no right of my own. I want to live the rest of my life trying to pay back something I can never pay back.

Prayer: Dear Lord you are worthy of all my praise, obedience and all of my love. Help me stay focused on you and your sacrifice. Please give me a thankful heart and that I will never stop saying thank you for all you’ve done for me.
