And Aaron said to Moses, “Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD, and yet such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would the LORD have approved?” And when Moses heard that, he approved.
Leviticus 10:19
Lord Jesus, today my heart bemoans instances when I have had the best of intentions and motivations, only to find that I have missed the mark. I confess that though I may be trying, doing so and the consequences of those actions can make me timid regarding stretching out. And the complexity of dealing with the brokenness of others combined with my personal failings, makes it even harder. Master, I pray today that You will continue to remind me that You stand between me and the Father’s righteous requirements. You see my fear and know my responses. You understand my reservations and my hesitancy. Help me to get beyond a fear of messing up, reminding me that no matter how hard I try, I will always fall short. And with that, remind me that I no longer need to! You have paid it all! You have made the ultimate sacrifice, fully paying the price, and satisfying what is required. You take my righteousness, which is unacceptable, and make it acceptable. Thank You, Lord, for this unmerited favor! I pray today that You would take all that I do today through the pool of Your redeeming blood. It is my desire to please You in all I do to Your glory. Amen.
