New Living Translation (2007) Psalm 103:12
He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.
It's funny how God works. I wonder how the author choose east and west, and not north and south. In a world that you believe is flat, there would be no difference. Yet us in the 21st century understand the world as round. So we can mark the distance between the south pole and the north but can you mark the distance from east to west.
I find God sometimes uses the subtle hints to show his power, his leading in peoples lives such as this author. It's like a treasure that is buried until we discover the truth but the world.
That reminds me of something I heard from someone I look up to. We live in a world that is a fine line.
We live in a world where it is possible to believe that there is no God, but it is impossible to do so.
This verse highlights that. It could be just chance that the author picked east and west.
God lead us to green pastures
God bless us with your presence
God help us shine for you
God protect us from all who oppose you
