THE LAMP DEVOTION
TUESDAY OCTOBER 15
GOD’S HEART IS ALWAYS OPEN
Isaiah 55:6-9
God is making a very important proclamation here to humanity. If you study the context, it looks like He is talking to people who think they are too bad to be accepted by God. They think they have done so much evil there is no place of forgiveness for them. God is specifically letting them know that He does not think like a man does.
Just watch people who have become famous either through some achievement they have made in life, or wealth they have acquired, or some position they have been elevated to in this life. They want everyone who has done less or has less than they have to bow at their feet for crumbs. Woe betides anyone who makes the mistake of offending them one way or the other. They will exact every pound of flesh from them.
That is not how the holy God, greater than all of us relates with people in the wrong. God has an open-door policy. Do not think that He is going to disgrace you before all men. He will actually pardon you. God’s grace surpasses all our sins. Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more.
Prayer
1. Thank God for His infinite love for you regardless of your sins and weaknesses.
2. Pray that you will always take advantage of the grace of God and come to Him for pardon.
3. Father, please help me appropriate all the benefits of Your grace in my life.
Declarations
I declare that I am a product of God’s grace. My very salvation is because of His grace towards me. Without His grace I am nothing. I continue to live my life as His child based on His grace. I am not perfect, but his grace makes me acceptable in His presence always. In that I am truly blessed in the name of Jesus!

Isaiah 55:6-9
Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the [b]wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
