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).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
