Isaiah 57-59; Psalm 103; 2Peter 3
S=Scripture=Objective. A=Application, P=Prayer
S--Isa. 57;14 “…Build up, build up, prepare the road. Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”
O--The people declare they were followers of God….yet they continued to worship idols. They felt hopeless in the ability to change.
A--I think about the Christian church today and believe that God is calling us to BUILD UP not tear down, to remove the roadblocks and not set them up…to stop judging and start reaching out in love to His people. We should be people of compassion, “re“-presenting Christ through love, compassion, mercy and grace. It doesn’t matter how a person dresses, talks or where they come from…they need God’s mercy. God loves them. We need to help to build up…and not tear down, that is how they will see God in us.
P--Oh God…help me to see with your eyes of love, mercy and compassion, and help me to reach out to others without judgment.
