 3.19-

Bringing up the slop bucket."

That is a set of words used when I was doing marriage counseling and one of the two would bring some old grievance that was supposed to be long gone because of confession, repentance and forgiveness.

I'm thankful God promises his children that he does have the ability to forgive and forget.

A preacher had a sweet little girl in his congregation who was always rejoicing in her ability to talk to God. The preacher felt she was overdoing it.

He challenged her on morning after church." If you talk to God and he talks back to you then here is your assignment this week. I want you to ask him what my secret sin is."

Next week he asked her?

"What is my sin?"

She quickly replied, I spoke to him about it. He said you had confessed it to him."

"What was it?,"the preacher pushed.

The little girl said God said, "I forgot."

Hebrews 8

7 For if that first covenant had been free of fault, no [g]circumstances would have been sought for a second. 8 For in finding fault with [h]the people, He says,

“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
[i]When I will bring about a new covenant
With the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
9 Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
On the day I took them by the hand
To bring them out of the land of Egypt;
For they did not continue in My covenant,
And I did not care about them, says the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, declares the Lord:
[j]I will put My laws into their minds,
And write them on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.
11 And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen,
And each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
For they will all know Me,
From [k]the least to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings,
And their sins I will no longer remember.”

13 [l]When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is [m]about to disappear.
