Through the Bible: IsaiahSample

Woe is Me!

And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” 

Isaiah 6:7 (ESV)

Our God is so glorious that if we were to see His face, we would not survive. However, we have a loving and gracious God who knows this, and however bad we think we are, He still loves us. Whenever I did anything wrong, I would immediately try to justify myself and do anything to hide from it. This would include hiding from the person I offended. Like Isaiah, rather than justifying myself, I found that by acknowledging my wrongdoings, God would forgive me immediately. What a wonderful God we have that takes away our guilt because we can’t do it by ourselves.

Prayer

Father in heaven, You know my innermost thoughts. I thank You that You only reveal to us what we can handle. I pray that You show us our wrongdoings, and to take away our guilt so that we remain in a close relationship with You. Amen!
