How,
Lord, are we to receive Your blessing? Are we to “do some great thing”?
Are we to prove ourselves worthy of Your blessing? No! Your Word says
this: “Wash and be clean” (2 Kings 5:130. Our salvation isn’t something
that we’ve paid for. It isn’t something that we’ve earned. We don’t come
to You, saying, “Look at me. Look at my religion. Look at my morality.”
We look away from ourselves to Jesus – and we hear Your Word of
salvation: “The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from all
sin” (1 John 1:7).
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
