Although that phrase isn't I'm the Bible word for word, the principle rings true just as the “mysterious ways" of God sometimes rings true. Here's a story of my morning that inspired this blog as I was driving in to work. (also inspired by this article I found as I thought and prayed)
Forgot my wallet this morning so I had to turn around and head back home (Govt workers will know you can't really work without your ID card…) so I spent an extra 40 min in my car in which much prayers were raised heavenward while listening to my brothers “musictoprayby" and it dawned on me (pun intended at 6:05 AM) that God chooses to be forgetful at times…
So I just feel moved with gratitude for God's forgetfulness — in regards to my faults and failures — verses like these really minister to me.
He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:19 NKJV)
Then He says,
“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.” And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. (Hebrews 10:17, 18 NLT)
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:11, 12 AMP)
May you experience the joy and peace His forgiveness brings, knowing that when He forgives, He also forgets! Great is His faithfulness!
Ah, what a day!
Peace,
Adam
