Is your response to God’s Word one of arrogance and pride, or one of humility and repentance? You can learn a lot from the Israelites’ reaction to the reading of the law from Pastor Mark’s teaching today. They immediately humbled themselves with fasting, putting on sackcloth and dirt, and confessed their sins. They saw their frailty and sinfulness in light of an awesome God. Just as the Israelites, you’re prone to sin, but thank God He’s rich in mercy. Ongoing repentance should mark your life as a believer. This motivates the daily perspective of your utter dependence on God in light of His glory, but also His grace.
