Isaiah 53: 6
We all, like sheep, went astray: we turned, each one, to his own way;
yet Adonai laid on him the guilt of all of us.
Selah….
This scripture pierced my heart
as I was reading it. How many times do
we, even within the body of Christ go our own way? Those times Abba may have said to go right
and we go left or tells you to forgive but we rather hold grudges. How about how he pleads so hard for our
hearts? Just look at the Word. From Genesis to Revelations you see God’s
love letter to men, desiring our hearts for Him. Yet I wonder how many of us He can say have
our hearts?
Do we read His word or go in
prayer as our Christian checklist? When
attending church or being part of service, is it away to say to ourselves I did
my Christian duty? Are we really doing
things our own way or in His way?
Selah…
Yet Adonai. Two words that
pierced my heart. Yet Adonai love us in spite of us. Yet Adonai laid on him the guilt of all of
us. Our shame, our sin, our own way. He
is yet pleading for our hearts even today.
Just like in the natural, we want a spouse to love us from their hearts,
not out of obligation. We want family
love to be sincere, not as a duty. How
much more does God wants us to love Him with our hearts. He shed His blood to restore intimacy with
him. So will we be intimate or rather go
towards our own way where we know of Him, but not actually Him.
Let us do a heart check with
Abba.
