-
whose waters never failed. Isaiah fifty eight eleven. Shalom beloved,
-
and welcome to our morning glory devotion fascinitating today's devotion
-
and mistimes since a charm for Jay. Let's kindly share
-
word of prayer, Heavenly Father, blessing, grace, honor in power
-
beyond to your name, as we humble ourselves to listen
-
to your word. Open our hearts and minds to receive
-
your wisdom, and Jesus's mighty name will pray.

Will take our confession from Joshua one eight This book
-
of the Law shall not depart out of my bow.
-
But I shall meditate in it day, and I that
-
I may observe to do according to all that is
-
written in it. For then I shall make my way prosperous,
-
and then I shall have good success. Amen, beloved. The
-
topic for today's devotion is Come let us reason together,
-
taken from Isaiah one eighteen, and I read from the
-
King James version. Come now and let us reason together,
-
saith the Lord do your sins be as scarlet, they
-
shall be as wide as snow? Do they be red
-
like crimson? They shall be as woolf Amen.
-
Come, let us reason together, Dearly beloved, Where have you
-
wandered to? How deep is your sin? What addiction has
-
brought it changed around your life? What secret struggle have
-
you hidden from the eyes of others? What bedding of
-
guilt have you carried for so long that you have
-
begun to believe there is no way back to God?
-
Perhaps driving so far from him that prayer has become difficult.
-
Worship feels empty, and his presence seem distant. Yet in
-
the midst of your condition, God extends a gracious invitation.
-
Come now and let us reason together. Notice the agency
-
of his call Come now, not tomorrow, not when you
-
have overcome your struggles, not when you have fixed your life,
-
not when you finally feel worthy. God's invitation is for
-
this very moment. His mercy is available today. Every delay
-
in repentance is a delay in responding to the loving
-
call of God. But what does it mean by let
-
us risen together? In the context of anxire Chapter one,
-
God is not inviting his people to debate with him
-
or justifind their actions, their sin was already evident. Though
-
they maintain the appearance of religion through sacrifices, feast and assemblies,
-
their hearts were far from him. They were living in
-
disobedience while pretending all was well. Sadly, this is still
-
the story of many people today. God's invitation to reason
-
is an invitation to face reality. It is as though
-
he's saying, come and honestly examine your life. Stop making excuses,
-
stop hiding behind appearances, see your sin for what it
-
truly is, and then see the greatness of my messy.
-
Many people make one of two mistakes. Some minimize their sin,
-
convincing themselves that is just not serious. Others magnify their
-
sin until it appears greater than God's grace. God corrects
-
both errors. He does not treat sin life. He calls
-
the scarlet and crimson. That is deep stains that seem
-
impossible to remove. Yet he also declares, do your sins
-
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
-
Do they be read as crimson, they shall be as
-
woll What a glorious promise the God who knows every
-
hidden failure, secret, compromise, and sinful thought is the same
-
God who promises complete cleansing. He does not merely cover
-
the stain, He removes it. The killed you cannot erase,
-
God can wash away. Have you been avoiding God because
-
of shame? Have you wondered whether he still wants you?
-
Then he has invitation afresh. Today. He calls you to
-
come acknowledge or condition, abandon your excuses and trust in
-
a messy Stop reasoning within yourself, and begin reasoning with God.
-
Consider not only what your sin has done, but also
-
what his grace can do. No stain is too deep
-
for his cleansing power, and no sinner is beyond the
-
reach of his mercy. The God who says come now,
-
is still calling today. Will you respond to his invitation?
-
If today you desire to respond to his call? The
-
Bible says, if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
-
Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thy heart that God
-
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Amen,
-
will take our memory theres from as I chapter one.
-
Come now and let us risen together, sayeth the Lord.
-
Though will your sins be as scarlet, they shall be
-
as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson,
-
they shall be as soul in man. Beloved, let us
-
kindly share a word of prayer. Father, We thank you
-
for your word. Today. We pray that Lord, you grant
-
us the grace to lay every sin, every shame, every
-
secret struggle before you. Help us to stop making excuses
-
and trust that your mercy is greater than our failure.
-
Wa wash us clean, make us white a snow. Thank
-
you that no sting is too deep for your blood
-
to remove. We receive your forgiveness and choose to work
-
with you from this moment forward.
-
Amen.
