Podcast 33.2 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
Just as I am and waiting not
And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, I Peter 1:17 ESV
We must not wait to try to get ourselves together for we have no hope in being able to actually do so. Rather, we must call on Him as soon as we have the awareness that we need a Savior. Humble yourself and call on this Father who has first called on you.
To rid my soul of one dark blot
knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, I Peter 1:18 ESV
Futile. That best describes our efforts of ridding ourselves of any of the dark blots on our souls. Whether we learned them from those who have gone before or not, it is not perishable things that will cleanse our souls. Are you trusting that futility?
To Thee Whose Blood can cleanse each spot
but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. I Peter 1:19 ESV
Here is the source of our cleansing, the very blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. So precious is that blood for it is the only thing that can rid our souls of all their dark blots, past, present and future. Give praise to Jesus for shedding His blood so you can come.
O Lamb of God I come I come
He was…made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God…so that your faith and hope are in God. I Peter 1:20-21 ESV
He was made known to us so that we could become believers in God. Now our faith and hope are in Him and nothing else. Thank Him for revealing Himself to you and then making a way through His shed blood for you to come.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain
Just as I am and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee Whose Blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God I come I come
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
