I Cry to You

Daniel 5-6; Psalms 130; Luke 3 

“Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.”

Psalm 130:1-4

Only God can forgive, heal, and free our sin-sick souls. Our inner turmoil, fears, and rebellion are costly in relationships, sleepless nights, and exhaustion. There is only one Person we can go to for full redemption, forgiveness, and freedom from our sin. His name is Jesus. When we learn to cry out to him every day and honestly own our sinful choices and disobedience in repentance, Jesus offers us his forgiveness, cleansing, and freedom. 

Will we wait on the Lord for his word of loving mercy and forgiveness, or will we run into God’s presence like an impatient customer at a vending machine?

We are not religious consumers and God is not a one-stop service center.

Are we spending time with the Lord?

Do we walk in the fear of the Lord who alone holds our lives and breathe in his hands?

“Lord God, my hope is in you, for your glory.”
