Today's reading: Numbers 17

Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 3:12-13

Welcomed with outstretched arms
The three parts of the parable in the 15th chapter of Luke's gospel show with what untiring love God goes after lost, sinful people.
The Shepherd, who found his lost sheep, did not complain of tiredness. He did not reproach himself. He did not think of himself at all, but laid the sheep carefully and joyfully on his shoulders. It was not too heavy for him to carry back home.
The one who had lost a coin swept the house and searched eagerly. She simply had to find again. And when she found it, she spoke of it gladly.
How moving was the reception of the prodigal son! "When he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him" (v.20). The father did not send a servant to welcome the son on his return. He went out himself to take him in his arms and forgive him all the wrong he had done.
The way God forgives everyone who turns to Him sincerely causes no fear to arise in the heart. So why should we doubt that God will forgive absolutely? His arms are outstretched to receive the lost. God points us to the cross of Calvary, to the basis of forgiveness. He tells us that all that was necessary for our salvation was accomplished there. So we need only to rely fully on Christ and His atoning death.

TRAIN UP YOUR CHILD 1

One major undoing of modern civilized society is an abounding generation of untrained children. This trend did not just start, but has been on for some time now.

A LIBERAL HEART?

Read:
, God asked the widow to feed the prophet before taking care of herself. At the end of the day, what was not enough became more than enough. To what extent do you practice giving as an individual, family, church or nation?

Those who never give will continue to beg, if you desire to...More
