Humble and Contrite

Jun6

For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord. “But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word. Isaiah 66:2 NASB

God, everything that ever was, is, or ever will be exists by Your hand. How could I or any being put ourselves above You, much less before You? Yet we walk as if we know it all. As if we do not need You. As if our ways are your ways, justified by You because we are ‘Christians’. God convict our hearts by Your Word. I pray that Your Word would make us tremble at any and every disobedience as we read, study, and meditate on Your Word. Humble the arrogant heart, Lord. Look to the one, as You promised, who comes to You with a remorseful, repentant heart desiring atonement from sin.

🌹My flesh trembles for fear of You, And I am afraid of Your judgments.
Psalms 119:120 NASB

Iniquity Encounter

Apr7

All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on (encounter Him) Him.
Isaiah 53:6 NASB

The priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who goes astray when he sins unintentionally, making atonement for him that he may be forgiven.
Numbers 15:28 NASB

Without a sacrifice of atonement, there is no forgiveness. Jesus was the sacrifice that made atonement for our sins. Once and for all. We have been redeemed.

When you come to the foot of the cross  and encounter Him, Jesus, knowing He took your iniquity, all of it, upon Himself, that is when eternal salvation takes place. That encounter that turns us to God’s way, the surrender of our soul to follow Jesus as His disciples.

🌹Holy God. God of mercy. God of grace. I confess that I have forsaken the right way and gone astray in my heart and do not know Your ways. Do not be angry anymore, Lord. In my affliction I went astray, but now I seek to keep Your word. I pray God that as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, that You would keep my mind from being led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to You, the Christ. I ask in the name of Jesus Christ and for His glory, amen.
(2 Peter 2:15; Hebrews 3:10; Psalms 119:67;
2 Corinthians 11:3)
