Daily Devotional by Pam Ford Davis

The Deep Blue Sea

I once read a short article about sunken treasure from a pirate ship. The riches were discovered in waters near Cape Cod. Be it buried treasure, lottery, Publishers Clearing House winnings or pot of gold at the end of the rainbow; man seeks wealth and fame.

True treasure; lasting treasure, is found by diligent seekers. It’s worth the search.

“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells everything that he has, and buys that field (Matthew 13:44 NASB).”

God has given me the treasure and testimony of everlasting life. I testify today; He buried my transgressions and sin in the sea.

“Who is a God like You, who pardons wrongdoing
And passes over a rebellious act of the remnant of His possession?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in mercy.
He will again take pity on us;
He will trample on our wrongdoings.
Yes, You will cast all their sins
Into the depths of the sea (Micah 7:18-19 NASB).”

How deep is His love?

Don’t you know?

God’s love and forgiveness is deeper than the deep blue sea!
