Romans 4:7-8“Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”
September, the time of year when the temperatures
are dithering between summer and fall. On a cool morning this week, the dip in
temps resulted in a soft fog that settled over the village. As I drove to work
I enjoyed the beauty of the low hanging cloud as it touched the trees still
green with summer and covered the surrounding hills with a blanket of dew.
The fog reminded me of the times I've asked God to
pour his peace over my family, friends, or someone I don't even know. Or the
times I've prayed for a person to feel God's arms around them and his love enveloping
them. As I looked at scripture about how God covers people, I read Romans 4 and
discovered this quote from the Psalm. God surrounds me with
much more than his love and peace. He rains down his grace on me. He's forgiven
me and continues to forgive. I am blessed to know my Savior has given me a
fresh start and left my past behind. Praise God for grace!
