Awaken - Day 22

 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18

I have been using this phrase ' Out of the abundance of.."I usually engaged this phrase to denote the action I am about to take from a place of security and understanding. This scripture gives me the undergirding of abundance.

The very nature of life abundant comes from the simple fact that our circumstance is no more destitute, broken,  confused and stricken with destruction than any other person. It is however God's unfailing grace and extravagant gift of His son that allow us to come to a table of peace, hope and grace. I am propelled by God's intense desire for relationship with me. 

I am no more present before God but for His reasons. I therefore have only my life as sacrifice and tithe this my time so that I might see what it is he has for me. I choose to turn away from mine own desires in turn to His. I choose to lie passively in his Hands and KNOW NOTHING but his Will.

The understanding of Isaiah can only be understood for the light of new testament shed new light on what God was really saying.... I AM going to remove that which separates us FOREVER. 

Prayer.

There is nothing that stands between you and I. My sin is not strong enough...for once I shed the light on it you are faithful to forgive, heal and cleanse. You are just to ensure that happens as I lay me down before you. Help me see how close you are....I need to know how close we are. I have become blinded by my own passions and I have lost touch with the heart of your desire. What it means to worship...not to earn your presence but to embrace your presence. Not to atone for mine own sin but to accept that atonement by repentance. Nothing to add to your cross...being all sufficient for me.  Jesus you are enough for me. More than enough. If I have you I have all I need. I plead for a deeper awakening to the truth of our relationship all for what it is.
