Isaiah 57-59

"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things."

"...the LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him."

We are very familiar with what our sins do to us. They hinder our relationship with God and people around us. Because the Holy Spirit lives inside of us, we just know there is something wrong when we sin. But what's more important is that what we do about our sin. This is what Pastor Sam talked about yesterday - repentance. I think often times we are very reluctant to ask for forgiveness to God and others because we are prideful.

Let us humble ourselves and ask God for forgiveness. He is always willing to forgive and restore us. How great is our God!
