I’ve been trying to eat better and exercise more. Some days go better than others!
Ever wish the scale were based on something besides our efforts, like maybe our weight could improve because we were really nice to someone today?!
Weight doesn’t work that way, but some things aren’t based on our efforts.
Psalms 38:1 says, “O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.”
When we cry out to God, His forgiveness is based on Him, not us.
The Psalm ends by saying, “Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.” (Psalms 38:21-22).
