Mt. 3: 1-3. JOHN'S MESSAGE
John the Baptizer did not soften the hard edges of the truth—he preached a straight-forward message of repentance. Change your ways, he cried out. Rich or poor, temple leader or farm-hand, John brought them God's command to change. His message is not outdated—the call to repent from sin is as timely today as it was then.
What is the Spirit bringing to mind right now, from which you need to repent? Pause and pray for insight, and give the Lord permission to show you the painful truth. Let us confess, and determine to allow the Spirit to change us by His power, not by our self-determination (pretty much a losing battle when we do things ourselves, isn't it?)
Prayer: Lord, I confess my sin to You. Refresh me with Your Spirit, that I might not sin against You. Change my heart and mind and will, I pray. Amen.
