GOD'S HABIT - FORGIVENESS

"If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings, who would stand a chance? As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that's why you're worshiped"
(Psalm 130: Vs 3, 4 - The Message).

Habits are strange things. They seem to sneak up on us, move in and before we realize take up residence. We may not think we have any habits until our routine is disrupted and we all of a sudden realize how deeply entrenched our habits have become.

It should be noted that habits are helpful in giving some structure and order to living. However, habits can be destructive. Those habits that are good and helpful need to be affirmed. Habits that are harmful to ourselves (spiritual growth) or others need to be axed.

It is wonderful to know that habitual wrongdoing and failure are always met by God's habitual forgiveness.

Just remember, when we fall and sin, God, whose habit is forgiveness, is there ready to catch us.
