For Thursday, June 15, 2023:
1 Chronicles 17:20 NLT, David praying: “O Lord, there is no one like you. We have never even heard of another God like you!”
God hand-picked David to lead the people of Israel. Even when David strayed off the straight and narrow, he gave us a beautiful example of repenting and returning to the Lord. David was forgiven and welcomed back.
God doesn’t just forgive sin. When we repent and return, any record of that sin is blotted out, as if at the bottom of the deepest ocean, as far as the east is from the west. Forgiven and forgotten.
In David’s time, people worshiped many gods, false gods. But in David’s mind, his God, the God of Israel, was the top God. In a way he was right, but he didn’t have all the theology yet. Jesus would teach that there really is only one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Creator of everything deserves to be our only God!
