Thanksgiving

No, not the holiday. It's a theme, and Rebecca is once again devoting her blog to it in the month of November.

Each day she will be sharing things for which she is thankful. It's really a wonderful idea. Usually, on Sundays, I post an excerpt from The Valley of Vision, but today, I think I'll just start off the month with my own thanksgiving. This morning, as I was reading Psalm 103, I was thankful for this:

He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities. (Ps. 103:9-10)

I am thankful that God does not deal with us according to our sins. That is an amazing, wonderful truth. He sees us through the blood of Christ.
