"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
he rises to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him."
-Isaiah 30:18
My journal this morning:
This verse overwhelms me. I am a lowly sinner. I have walked away, rejected you, cursed at you, been ashamed and embarrassed of you, put other idols before you...and yet, you long to be gracious to me. Not only that, but you rise to show me compassion. You come off your throne to come find me, to show me compassion for all my sin. Lord, help me understand the enormity of this. Even knowing I can't completely comprehend it, it overwhelms me. I am your servant. You are the King of the universe. And yet, you are the one who rises.
Thank you Jesus.
