“Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;
may your mercy come quickly to
meet us,
for we are in desperate need.”
Psalm 79:8
How desperate are you for the presence of God?
Is it healing that draws you?
Are you filled with guilt or shame -
Is that what beckons you to draw near?
Sometimes desperation overrides pride.
The Bible is filled with stories of desperate people
and the measures they took for an ‘audience’ with the King.
They were so desperate that they cared little what
others said about them.
Their reputation was of less value than standing
before Him!
Have you ever been in that place?
Has His presence mattered more than how people think
of you?
Maybe your ‘entrance’ has left others angry, confused or
jealous.
But not God!
His love for us is not diminished by our desperate
methods.
As we’ve already noted, He has even recorded a few of
them in His Word.
May they be a lesson for us as we look together this
week at some examples.
So I ask again, how desperate are you for His
presence?
