Day 192

Father, 

We praise You for Your heart for repentance and restoration. When it comes to Your kids, punishment is never the goal of Your judgment on our sins. Jesus has taken all the punishment for all our sins on the cross. Yet You are still so kind to call us to repentance, to never leave us to wander off into sin and destruction. Thank You for that!

Have mercy on me, a sinner. Like Judah, we’ve rejected You. Like Israel, we’ve forgotten Your rescue, rejected Your laws, and resisted Your correction. But in Your great mercy, You pursue us still. We see You pursuing us today, to this very word. We acknowledge our sins, and we turn FROM our sins TO You.

Would You remind us of our relationship with You? Would You embed that identity in our minds and hearts so deeply that it’s the truth we live out of and speak out of? We are a brand plucked out of the fire by the hand of a holy God! We are children of the One True God, the giver of peace, the author of rescue, and the person of Love Himself.

And because that’s who You are, we joyfully surrender our lives to You—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
