‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song: He also has become my salvation’”
Dear God,
Every day we (I) sin and sin is sin, in Your eyes, even though we are often esteemed in our own estimation, for entrenched in our thinking can be that some sins are so called white and others shades of grey through to the blackest of black and that our good deeds and works are counted toward our being righteous. In Your Holy Scriptures however, I read if I am to become like Jesus Christ my Saviour, who never has sinned. I need every sin of every kind, confessed, forgiven and covered by His robe of Righteousness, so that I am seen in the Fathers eyes as being righteous, though I am by my human bent, a sinner through and through, no matter my covering of Christ’s righteousness. Oh, what love, mercy and condescension on the part of God, the Father, through our wonderful Saviour, Jesus Christ! The depth and height of the love of Jesus is beyond full human understanding or measure. I simply accept, that it is real and absolutely sufficient to save every person ever born on earth, and much more besides. Ephesians 1:7 “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”
May I never forget the sacrifice of Jesus on my behalf; not only His love, but the reality of His sacrifice in me. Romans 8:34 “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” We despite our best intentions are so far from self-generated sinlessness, that all of our thoughts, actions and even our prayers are framed within our human sin tainted way. God be praised, the sacrifice of Jesus has covered my every spiritual need in Him. For when Jesus arose from the grave and returned to heaven; the promised Holy Spirit came in a special way to earth, to bring Jesus our Saviour and
Redeemer into each heart and life.
Jesus, I again today accept You into my life, and thereby gain spiritual strength from knowing that I will daily be bought through by You, no matter what has been or will come to pass in the future. Romans 8:37 “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
Give praise to His Holy name!
