  3. will be like a well watered garden, like a spring

  4. whose waters never failed. Isaiah fifty eight eleven. Shalom beloved,

  5. and welcome to our morning glory devotion fascinitating today's devotion

  6. and mistimes since a charm for Jay. Let's kindly share

  7. word of prayer, Heavenly Father, blessing, grace, honor in power

  8. beyond to your name, as we humble ourselves to listen

  9. to your word. Open our hearts and minds to receive

  10. your wisdom, and Jesus's mighty name will pray.

  11. Amen.

  12. Will take our confession from Joshua one eight This book

  13. of the Law shall not depart out of my bow.

  14. But I shall meditate in it day, and I that

  15. I may observe to do according to all that is

  16. written in it. For then I shall make my way prosperous,

  17. and then I shall have good success. Amen, beloved. The

  18. topic for today's devotion is Come let us reason together,

  19. taken from Isaiah one eighteen, and I read from the

  20. King James version. Come now and let us reason together,

  21. saith the Lord do your sins be as scarlet, they

  22. shall be as wide as snow? Do they be red

  23. like crimson? They shall be as woolf Amen.

  24. Come, let us reason together, Dearly beloved, Where have you

  25. wandered to? How deep is your sin? What addiction has

  26. brought it changed around your life? What secret struggle have

  27. you hidden from the eyes of others? What bedding of

  28. guilt have you carried for so long that you have

  29. begun to believe there is no way back to God?

  30. Perhaps driving so far from him that prayer has become difficult.

  31. Worship feels empty, and his presence seem distant. Yet in

  32. the midst of your condition, God extends a gracious invitation.

  33. Come now and let us reason together. Notice the agency

  34. of his call Come now, not tomorrow, not when you

  35. have overcome your struggles, not when you have fixed your life,

  36. not when you finally feel worthy. God's invitation is for

  37. this very moment. His mercy is available today. Every delay

  38. in repentance is a delay in responding to the loving

  39. call of God. But what does it mean by let

  40. us risen together? In the context of anxire Chapter one,

  41. God is not inviting his people to debate with him

  42. or justifind their actions, their sin was already evident. Though

  43. they maintain the appearance of religion through sacrifices, feast and assemblies,

  44. their hearts were far from him. They were living in

  45. disobedience while pretending all was well. Sadly, this is still

  46. the story of many people today. God's invitation to reason

  47. is an invitation to face reality. It is as though

  48. he's saying, come and honestly examine your life. Stop making excuses,

  49. stop hiding behind appearances, see your sin for what it

  50. truly is, and then see the greatness of my messy.

  51. Many people make one of two mistakes. Some minimize their sin,

  52. convincing themselves that is just not serious. Others magnify their

  53. sin until it appears greater than God's grace. God corrects

  54. both errors. He does not treat sin life. He calls

  55. the scarlet and crimson. That is deep stains that seem

  56. impossible to remove. Yet he also declares, do your sins

  57. be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.

  58. Do they be read as crimson, they shall be as

  59. woll What a glorious promise the God who knows every

  60. hidden failure, secret, compromise, and sinful thought is the same

  61. God who promises complete cleansing. He does not merely cover

  62. the stain, He removes it. The killed you cannot erase,

  63. God can wash away. Have you been avoiding God because

  64. of shame? Have you wondered whether he still wants you?

  65. Then he has invitation afresh. Today. He calls you to

  66. come acknowledge or condition, abandon your excuses and trust in

  67. a messy Stop reasoning within yourself, and begin reasoning with God.

  68. Consider not only what your sin has done, but also

  69. what his grace can do. No stain is too deep

  70. for his cleansing power, and no sinner is beyond the

  71. reach of his mercy. The God who says come now,

  72. is still calling today. Will you respond to his invitation?

  73. If today you desire to respond to his call? The

  74. Bible says, if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the

  75. Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thy heart that God

  76. raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Amen,

  77. will take our memory theres from as I chapter one.

  78. Come now and let us risen together, sayeth the Lord.

  79. Though will your sins be as scarlet, they shall be

  80. as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson,

  81. they shall be as soul in man. Beloved, let us

  82. kindly share a word of prayer. Father, We thank you

  83. for your word. Today. We pray that Lord, you grant

  84. us the grace to lay every sin, every shame, every

  85. secret struggle before you. Help us to stop making excuses

  86. and trust that your mercy is greater than our failure.

  88. you that no sting is too deep for your blood

  89. to remove. We receive your forgiveness and choose to work
