Day 216

Father, 

You undo the undoing done by our enemies. In Your righteousness, You set things right. And we praise You for it. Thank You for being trustworthy—You fulfilled Your word through Nahum, and You are still fulfilling Your promises to Your people. You haven’t forgotten. Day by day, we’re getting closer to the return of Your Son. Come, Lord Jesus! We long for the day!   

Have mercy on me, a sinner. If we’re honest, sometimes we’re not the victims of oppression, but we are the oppressor. Sometimes we’re the ones doing the unrighteousness. And sometimes it’s become such a part of our normal behavior that we don’t even notice it and we get defensive if someone points it out in us. It’s hard for us to admit the we have character flaws. But we can confess anything to YOU, God, because You know it all, You see it all, and You won’t reject us for it.

We don’t want to be like Nineveh, who followed you for a century and then turned against You. So would You search our hearts, see if there is any offensive way in us, and lead us in the way of truth and righteousness? Illuminate the dark corners of our hearts. 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—may every dark corner be exposed, may every sin be devoured by fire as we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
