Day 243

Father, 

We praise You for the way You have broadened and widened and deepened Your relationship with Your people! When they broke the covenant, You expanded it. You covered the cost of their sins Yourself! Thank You for the way we get to enjoy the benefits of that! We have the blessing of Your eternal covenant, we have Your promise of a new heart, we have Your Spirit living in us! Thank You that You didn’t walk away when that’s all any of us have ever deserved. 

Like Sodom, we’ve been proud and arrogant, and it has manifested in many ways—from greed and selfishness to sexual sin and ignoring the poor. Like the orphan who is pursued by the king, we’ve chased after other lovers. Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean.

As You’ve promised the Israelites, would You restore our fortunes, God? Restore the things we’ve lost by pursuing things besides You. Restore our faith, restore our joy, restore our peace and our hope—those are our TRUE fortunes. Those are the things our hearts long for the most.  

You are our true delight. We yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
