Isaiah Chapter 56. Here I Come!
God declares that his Salvation and righteousness will be revealed and when it comes you better be ready. You better be focused on justice for all, righteousness, and keeping the Sabbath. Because you will then experience God's salvation and goodness and blessings.
I have received God's salvation in Jesus at a young age but what is my life like today? I don't want Jesus to return for his Christians only to find my “hand caught in the cookie jar”. In other words, I don't want to have him find me focused on ungodly or unholy practices. I want both the lives I live in public and behind closed doors to be a representation of a true follower of Jesus. I want to hear Jesus say, “Well done my good and faithful servant.” When I'm by myself away from people, I don't want to be struggling with secret sins. I want every aspect of my life to be glorifying to Christ.
What are our secret sins? What are we doing to rid ourselves of such sins? Let's not get too comfortable with the sins but be aggressive, determined, and motivated to daily surrender such sins to the Lord so we can find victory over sin.
