Morning Prayer
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
Inspiration
It is striking that a generation that thought God did not see their sin was the very generation that was exceedingly overflowing with sin. God's judgment on Israel and Judah would not be held back. Their iniquities mounted up, as it were, to heaven. And yet, they deluded themselves into thinking that God did not see or did not care.
Prayer
O Lord, we know that sin has a blinding effect upon the sinner, making him unable to see the obvious. It also has a hardening effect, making him unwilling to be corrected and angry at any who point out the error of his ways. Let us not be deceived or blinded by sin, but let us be enlightened and made wise by your holy Word. Amen.
