Application

The part of this group of passages that stands out the most is that once again, God

forgave the Israelites and intervened on their behalf. It seems that almost every other chapter has an example of the Israelites acting like fools, asking for forgiveness and being forgiven and restored. God is so great and wonderful that no matter how often we screw up He forgives us and blesses us if we ask. I need to be that way in my own life. I need to truly forgive people and give them true forgiveness the way I ask God to do for me.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank you for this new day and for the new opportunities you have given me. I thank you for being my personal savior. Lord I ask that you hep me to be truly forgiving and loving as I ask you to do for me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
