Scripture: Isaiah 59: 1-2, 21

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.(1,2)  As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.(21)

Scripture Commentary: Sin separates us from God

Our Lord and Savior in this chapter tells us that he hears all, sees all and knows all. He also tells us He forgives us and loves us. His arms are not too short that He cannot protect from harm, His ears are not deaf that He cannot hear our cry.  But we have separated ourselves from Him when we sin against Him.

Sin separates us from God.  He cannot ignore, excuse, or tolerate sin as though it doesn’t matter. Our sinful ways form a wall of isolation between us and God.

This angers God and forces him to look away from us. If you die with your  sins unforgiven, you will be separated from God –  you will have placed yourself in satin’s hands.

God wants you to be with Him forever, but he cannot be with you unless you want the same.  You must change and ask His forgiveness.

Have you confessed your sin to Him? Do this now, before it is too late.

Feel the love and warmth of His Holy Spirit fall upon you.
