I recently had a very busy day, and by the end of it I felt that I had not kept my thought as spiritually uplifted as I could or should have. I had rushed through things and hardly listened for God’s direction at all along the way. My day had started with morning prayer and good intentions. But those intentions had slipped at some point, and I sat on my bed that night feeling a mild sense of remorse that I could have done better.
I decided to simply sit quietly and pray to God. It wasn’t long before the thought came to open my Bible at random. I did so, and my eyes fell on this passage: “For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. For he remembered that they were but flesh” (Psalms 78:37–39).
What a wonderful glimpse of grace that was!
