Reading: Acts 3,4,5
My Verse: "So repent; turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." (3:19)
Such an amazing verse! Peter told the people they needed to do a one-eighty degree turn! He said, "turn around" - for they were headed in the wrong direction. He plead with them to "return [to God]"
Only then will sins be forgiven - "that your sins may be erased." Oh - to be guilt free - to have one's sins blotted out! Who doesn't want that?
And finally "that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Times of refreshing! This world can definitely wear us down. We are so often in need of encouragement - lifting up. Here Peter tells us we will get "times of refreshing from the presence of our Lord" if we do a one-eighty degree turn and return to Him!
So very simply stated. Peter was a master at simply and strongly stating Your Truths, Lord. Thank You for such a man as Peter.
Thank You for helping me to do that one-eighty degree turn. Thank You for erasing my sin. Thank You for the times of refreshing.
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
