Gone!

I have always loved some Southern Gospel music.  My favorite has always been the Cathedrals.  They are legendary and one of their great songs that I have leaned on is called "In the Depths of the Sea".  Read the lyrics:

In the Depths of the Sea

1. Man has climbed every mountain, no matter how high
He has conquered the planets from sky to sky
But there is a place where man has not been
And that’s where my Lord says He’s buried my sin
(Chorus)
In the depths of the sea of God’s forgetfulness
Removed as east is from west
Far away from all power and principality
My sins are in the depths of the sea

2. Gone are the shackles, gone are the stains
I’m free from the bondage, free from the chains
My sins are separated as darkness from dawn
Praise God, I’m forgiven, my sins are all gone
In the depths of the sea of God’s forgetfulness
Removed as east is from west
Far away from all power and principality
My sins are in the depths of the sea


I could not help but think about that song and sing it under my breath as I read Ps. 103:11-12 today- For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.  
They are gone! 
Praise the Lord, they are gone! 
Confess them today...agree with God today on the significance of your sin and praise the Lord, they will be gone!!  Hallelujah!! 

Chew on that today and you'll have a good one.
