‘The people... will go
in tears to seek the Lord their God... They will come and bind
themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be
forgotten’ (Jeremiah 50:4-5). Lord, You’re calling us to come to You.
You’re calling us to commit ourselves to You. We’re to come to You Lord
with ‘tears’: ‘Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation’
(2 Corinthians 7:10). Our commitment to You is not to be a half-hearted
thing. It is to be a whole-hearted dedication of our lives to You. You
love us. You have blessed us so much. You have drawn us to Yourself. You
have heard and answered our prayer for salvation. How are we to respond
to Your love? Teach us, Lord, to give ourselves to You as ‘a living
sacrifice.’This is our ‘spiritual worship.’It is ‘holy and pleasing’ to
You, Lord (Romans 12:1).
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."
