“For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant..” -Psalms 78:37 (KJV)
I’m wearing the cutest denim jumpsuit, my blond braids peaking out behind my ears.
“Can I have that toy?” I ask my Grandma. My lip begins to quiver.
“Not today,” she ushers.
“Okay,” I utter in defeat, sulking away and crafting a plan.
Twenty minutes later, my three-year-old fingers have hidden the toy in my coat. I don’t remember feeling guilty until Mom marched me back to Memo’s house and made me confess. I’d given her lip service, but my heart was far from sincere.
Psalms 78 reminds us God’s people were similar. They would remember God, only to fall back into sin. Yet, His love and forgiveness remained (vs.1-38)
Friends, we’re human. Even with God’s saving grace, there will be times we say one thing and do another (Romans 7:15-20). Praise God we can take heart and begin again.
Lord, help us to honor you in word and deed. We offer our hearts as an offering to you. Amen.
