are you willing?

Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. “Come now, let us settle the matter,”  says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.  If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land;  but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

—Isaiah 1:16-20

This seemed to be a theme this week. J

Song reference!

Father to the fatherless Defender of the weak
Freedom for the prisoner we sing

This is God in His holy place
This is God clothed in love and strength

Sing out lift your voice and cry out
Awesome is our strong God mighty is our God

You're with us in the wilderness faithful to provide
Ev'ry breath and ev'ry step we see

Sing out lift your voice and cry out
Awesome is our strong God mighty is our God
Sing out raise your hands and shout out
Awesome is our strong God mighty is our God

There is no higher no
There is no greater no
There is none stronger than our God

God wants us to listen to Him, to care for others like He cares for us (oh goodness, I could do another song reference here, but I will spare you).

We can do so much good in this world, we just have to want to do good.

And once we have determined that we want to do good, we just have to ask God to help us.

He will, you know, He will help us. 

There is none stronger, and with Him working through us, we can do anything.

What changes can you make in the world today?

Have a blessed day!
