Reading
SAA Notes
When you read the words of verse 24, think about Israel in the Exodus coming up from Mount Sinai to the gate of Palestine, looking in (the twelve spies) and refusing to go in. God then sent all that generation away from Him to wander for forty years in the wilderness. Don’t put off the day of commitment to Him.
SJA Notes
* Dear God, thank You for Your Spirit that writes Your word on our hearts.
“How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!”
The good news is for all.
The invitation for salvation through Jesus is for all.
What Jesus did, His work at Calvary – It is absolutely efficient for all, no matter the perception of the sinner (too fallen to save, too high and mighty to need saving).
Are we willing to fall at the feet of Jesus, the King of kings, and confess Him Lord and Saviour?
God gathers His people under the shadow (protection, comfort, assurance) of His wings.
Do not be found unwilling.
* Mighty God,
You are the God who sent Yourself in the Person of the Son to earth to die a cursed death that blessing might come to Your people.
Please Lord, save those around us, our friends and family, our loved ones, and outwards more to the lost all around.
Please wash us clean today Lord, forgive us for our sins (our complacency, our arrogance, our pride, our unbelief).
Thank You Lord, You are good!
Amen.
