Micah 7:18-20
Where is another God like you,
who pardons the guilt of the remnant,
overlooking the sins of his special people?
You will not stay angry with your people forever,
because you delight in showing unfailing love.
Once again you will have compassion on us.
You will trample our sins under your feet
and throw them into the depths of the ocean!
You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love
as you promised to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago. (NLT)

God is more interested in saving, restoring, and healing than we are in receiving these gifts of his grace, mercy, and unfailing love.

Another way of saying this is we live about as well as we want.

When we come to understand how God’s expectations lead to our best possible lives, everything changes.

It really is possible to get out of our own way.

It really is possible to live with purpose.

It really is possible to experience peace.

God delights in demonstrating his unfailing love. Praise becomes our morning routine when we discover this truth. Thanksgiving becomes our settled disposition. Expectancy shifts our focus from the way things are to the way things can be

This is good news for a Monday. What a great start to the week!

I will live in the broadness of God’s goodness and grace.

Our Father, it is almost a cliche but also an eternal truth: You are better to us than we would be to ourselves. Teach us today how to live up and into the good life you desire for each of us. Amen.

Daily D – Lamentations 3:19-27

Lamentations 3:19-27
“I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.”

Daily D – Job 40:8

Job 40:8 “Would you discredit my justice?
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?”

Daily D – Job 35:16

Job 35:16 “So Job opens his mouth with empty talk;
without knowledge he multiplies words.”

Daily D – Job 32:1-5

Job 32:1-5 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God. He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he. But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.

Daily D – Job 31:1

Job 31:1 “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.”
