Mat 15 v 21-39; Acts 21 v 27-40; Ps 36 v 1-12; Ex 34 v 1-35
Finding favour in God's sight

If now I have found favour in your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though the people are so obstinate, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your own possession.” (Ex 34 v 9)

Have you found favour in the Lord’s sight like Moses did or are you like the people – obstinate (stubborn), full of iniquity (immoral behaviour) and unrepentant sin?

If this is the case, join me today and let us approach the Lord in humility, even though we are “not worthy to untie the straps of His sandals.” (Luke 3 v 16), and allow Him to write His law on our hearts of stone.

David writes about the wickedness of man in contrast to the lovingkindness and righteousness of God. He says that “there is no fear of God before his [the wicked’s] eyes” (Ps 36 v 1) and that “he plans wickedness upon his bed, sets himself on a path that is not good and does NOT despise evil” (vers 4) [paraphrase].

On the contrary, God’s lovingkindness, righteousness and faithfulness is abundant for those who know Him and are upright in heart (vers 10). Let us kneel before the throne of grace today, repent of our wrongdoing and take refuge in the Lord. Let us drink of the living waters from His fountain of life that will never run dry.

I am willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of finding God’s favour and being in right standing with the Lord, are you?
