Psalm 85:2 CEV: “Lord, you have forgiven the sin and taken away the guilt of your people.”
Prophets had consistently told God’s people to remain optimistic. If the people would repent and return to the Lord, he would forgive them and restore their land. This psalm was probably written while Israel was ruled by Babylon, but nonetheless their faith remained. They had repented and returned, and were now anticipating full restoration!
2,000 years ago, God’s Son Jesus came to earth to fully explain God’s plan for forgiveness and restoration for the rest of us. Jesus would take the sin of the world upon himself, and the people’s favor with the Lord would be fully restored! It’s a perfect plan that includes us all!
Our God is a God of second chances!
Blessings and safety to all today!
