Lord,
You reveal Your holiness: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.” In
Your holiness, we see our own sinfulness: “I am a man of unclean lips”
(Isaiah 6:3,5). Lord, You are perfectly holy: “Your eyes are too pure to
look on evil” (Habakkuk 1:13). When we look at ourselves in the light
of Your perfect holiness, we see ourselves as we really are: “All
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Help us,
Lord, to confess our sin and pray for your forgiveness: “God, be
merciful to me, a sinner” (Luke 18:13). Help us to hear Your Word of
forgiveness – “your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven.” Help us
to speak our words of commitment – “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:7-8).
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."
