"But as for you who forsake the LORD and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, I will destine you for the sword, and you will all bend down for the slaughter; for I called you but you did not answer, I spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me."
"This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word... For when I called,, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me."
As we go about each day as a Christian, we fall and sin before God. It's one thing to sin because of our weakness but whole another thing when we deliberately sin. The passage talks about how God's people had no regard for His word and chose to sin against Him.
As I was reading and praying, God revealed to me that I've been deliberately sinning before God in two different areas. I knew that I need to repent and forsake it but I just haven't done that until now. I prayed that God will help me so that I won't go back to the same sin over and over again. I am so thankful that God does not give up on me even though I am a sinner who continues to fail Him. His mercy and grace is so amazing.
Just you have mentioned before, everyday is a gift from God and today is indeed a new day. Let us choose to be holy in our thought, speech, and action with God's help.
