Take it away from me
Isaiah 1:18
Come let us reason together, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow……..
In the verse above God is asking us to come before Him, just as we are, with our sins, weaknesses and all. He can take away our sins and make us as white as snow.
The bible says in Ezekiel 11:19 that
God can take away our heart of stone and replace it with a better heart ( paraphrase)
No matter who you are or what you have done, God can take away the evil and replace it with something better.
In the days of Moses there was a law that said
If my eyes causes me to sin, take out my eyes, it is better for me to enter heaven without one eye….( Matthew ,5:28-29)
God can do that but we no longer live under the law but under grace. You do not need to take out your eye but ask for the grace of God to sanctify your eyes and make it fit for heaven.
Matthew 6:9-13
……And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen
The passage above forms part of the Lord’s prayer which Jesus Himself thought His disciples.
When you wake up each day ask God to keep you from temptation and deliver you from evil( take away from your life whatever does not please Him). Then you will be fit and ready to spread the gospel and win souls as God has commanded.
God be with you.
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Ask for direction from God each day on how to live to please Him.
Prayer
Let this song me your prayer
Take it away from me
Take it away from me Lord
If it’s not like thee
Take it away from me
All those habits I can’t seem to break
Those sinful ways I cannot forsake
If you will Lord
Take it away from me
Amen
