Isaiah 1:1-28 - As you read this section it's hard to miss how small we are, and how undeserving we are of God's mercy. Who are we to expect anything from Him? Yet right in the middle God invites us to come and reason with Him. What does such "reasoning" look like? Bargaining? Debate? Though your sins are like scarlet they will be white as snow. God invites us to sit with Him, to cease striving for ourselves, to stop trying to prove ourselves. To reason with God is to listen to His words of grace.
1 Peter 1:1-12 - We are born again to a living hope. The term "living hope" is significant. We don't just wait idly by for this hope. Our hope in the resurrection is living and active. What are some concrete examples in life of our living hope?
