Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. — Isaiah 43:1 KJV
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. — Isaiah 43:1 NIV
Thought and Reflection
The Word of God is boring and irrelevant when we are caught up in the moral filth of culture. Even in those times when Satan uses sin as a way to harden our hearts and minds, God’s Spirit urges us to go deeper than the understanding of the Scriptures. His Spirit can use his Word as a scalpel to perform the necessary surgery on our hearts. Praise God.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to willingly give up all my sinful habits in my life today. These not only offend Your holiness or grace but also harden me against Your will, draw me away from Your character and hinder my witness to the world.
Please forgive me, and help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. I pray in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
