“you have cast all my sins behind your back” [Isaiah 38:17(RAV)]
August 4
“you have cast all my sins behind your back”. From these words it seems that Hezekiah recognised it was his sins that had made his house disorderly and caused God to issue an ultimatum to him. He further recognised that when he repented of his sin God had cast these transgressions away and given him a new start.
The same truth holds today. Once you have God’s forgiveness for what you’ve done, those deeds will never be brought up again. It is this that makes the forgiveness the Lord gives so wonderful. He gives a new lease of life totally free from the hang-ups of yesterday, plus divine strength to go and sin no more. This blessed truth is yours if you will take it.
‘Behind your back’ means out of sight whichever way you turn!
