TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jerusalem,

your rulers and your people are like those of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Listen to what the Lord is saying to you.

Pay attention to what our God is teaching you.

.

Wash yourselves clean.

Stop all this evil that I see you doing.

Yes, stop doing evil

and learn to do right.

.

– Isaiah 1:10,16-17a (GNT)

.

REFLECTION…

.

Evil is all around us in today’s society,

from lying and stealing to pornography,

drugs, illicit sex, and violence.

.

God calls us to be holy people set apart,

not influenced by our wicked culture.

The Lord’s is a call to a sincere change of heart

.

Sin always has consequences.

Do I take God’s plea seriously,

or am I indifferent to sin?

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

O Lord, my God,

remove my obstinacy and self-centeredness,

that I may accept and do Your will.
