Isaiah reminds us that a time will come when it
will be too late to come to the Lord. The gate will be shut behind those with
the bridegroom, and latecomers will be sent away. On this last week of the
church year, let us consider that last day, when the wedding arrives. Will the
Son of Man find faith on the earth, when He comes?
We are to forsake our wicked ways and thoughts and
return our loyalties, and devotion to the Lord. We do this because it is right
in itself to renounce our sins to God. We also come to Him to obtain His mercy
and pardon. He welcomes this.
But we shy away. It is natural to hide in the bushes
from God, like Adam and Eve when we have offended someone, but we must go and
confess and tell our wrong.
