Lord, regardless how our actions go against Your Word and Your precepts, You never give up on us. Many live unaware they are living contrary to Your standards as they had no training as children in the knowledge of You or Your workings as Creator God. They may be decent, kind people of society but they were never taught how You change a person’s heart. Your Word in 1 Peter 1:3 states You specialize in opening the eyes of the spiritually blind to lead them into a new life.
Many of Your followers drift away due to life’s demands. Family, job, extracurricular activities—sometimes even church functions—vie for our attention and smother the quiet time we need. These folks still belong to You. Reading the 23rd Psalm, we’re reminded You’re their shepherd who specializes in leading us beside still waters to restore our soul.
Others intentionally turned their backs on You, spurning Your Word to live as ruler of their life. Eventually they find they cannot overrule Your law of “sowing and reaping,” and end up broken, their lives shattered from sowing bad seed. As found in the opening words of Isaiah 61, You specialize in taking broken lives and making something beautiful and lasting.
No matter how broken we may be, God specializes in coming after us with His redeeming, unconditional love.
THANKFUL
