Grateful & Repent to Gracious God
A crisis exists in the nation of Judah. Wickedness has permeated every fiber of the social, political and spiritual life of the country – a condition that God finds intolerable. Divine indictment falls from the lips of His prophet Isaiah. Unless Repentance sweeps the nation, God will reduce His people to ruin. Famine and pestilence will replace feasting and pleasure to show that the Holy One still rules in Zion.
Lord, Grateful You Make Us Clean:
Even though you make
many prayers, I will not hear,
your hands are full of blood.
Wash yourselves, make yourselves
clean… Cease to do evil,
learn to do good; Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressors…
Plead for the widow (Isa 1:15-17).
Come now, and let us reason
together, says the Lord,
Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18).
If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
But if you refuse & rebel, you shall
be devoured by the sword (v19-20).
Lord, what an amazing promise that You are willing to cleanse any and every kind of sin. No act is too awful, too big, too outrageous. Even that sin, that unspeakable thought, motive & act is forgiveable. What an incredible Saviour You are! Thank You for dealing fully and finally with our sins. Thank You for forgiveness in Christ’s name, Amen.
Lord, we’re grateful for your Grace. Nothing stains quite as sin, for it not only leaves a stain in our heart but a residue in our minds. By Your grace You don’t just forgive our sins, You banish them; the stain is removed & the guilt taken away. We are fully clean by Your grace. O what joy Your grace gives us merciful God! We can never really thank & praise You enough. Amen.
Father, grateful that You do not
see my sins, rather You see me
righteous because of the work of
Your precious son, Jesus Christ.
Thanks for Your loving kindness
that I can eat the good of the land
and I appreciate Your love & mercy.
Help me follow the Holy Spirit
so that I will remain obedient.
Help me have deep gratitude to
You for Jesus Paid It All. Amen.
