Oh how unworthy I am. It is only by grace that I live, breathe, and exist. The Lord is unchanging. How do I walk away from God’s statutes just as Nadab and Abihu did even after seeing the glory of God? Is it the condition of man? This sin filled world is in need of a Savior! Jesus Christ is the only way that we can survive day to day. I am burdened right now Lord. I know how easily I forget what you have done. Forgive me! I have squandered all that you have given me. I am the prodigal son. I attempt constant coups against your rule in my life. Forgive me! I am unable, unworthy, unholy, and undesirable apart from Christ. Help me! Remove the ‘un’ from my life and let me live able, worthy, holy, and desirable. In silence I hear. In darkness I see. Lord I am wholly yours.
Let me live free because of my permanent sin offering Jesus. The children of Israel were not free. They had to constantly atone for their sin. They were as unable as I am but you make everyone who trusts able because of Jesus. It’s like how I walk currently. I need to wear 2 unwieldily and hot boots every time I want to walk. No matter if I want to use the bathroom, get a drink, or go to the coffee shop. I have a choice to wear the boots or not but if I choose the easy way and walked without them I would be in trouble because my doctor made these rules for my good and not to harm me. God the perfect physician laid down the law for our good but sin has twisted it so much that we see God’s rule as a burden. Oh how we need to embrace it for what it is, the loving care of a father. Lord help us! Please help us Lord, we are need Your intervention for our good. Lord help us to see how the law is fulfilled in Jesus Christ’s death on the cross. Help me Lord to be the man of God you want me to be.
