The tractor arrived early, a digger secured onto the trailer
behind. Great excitement for Gregor. The operator has now commenced work,
digging a hole for a septic tank. When his job is done, there should be no sign
of what lies beneath the ground. Pipes will connect the wastewater system to
the tank, and all dirty water from the new flat will flow into it.
God promises that when we are born again, we hook into his
wastewater system. Well, he doesn’t say that in so many words. But his promise
is that he takes our sins and buries them beyond retrieval. He forgets our
transgressions when we repent with sincerity and love.
May I stop trying to dig up what he has discarded. May I
truly trust that the past is done and dusted. Paul counsels that we are to ‘forget
what is behind’ so that we can shake off all that would hold us back as we run
the race with perseverance.
May I run the race with freedom and joy today, grateful for
all Jesus has done for me.
