And when You
spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; yes, when you
make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isaiah 1:15
In this passage and preceding verses, God is telling His people, He is
tired of their pretenses. He doesn't want to hear anymore of their fake
prayers and promises. He wants them to repent and have a broken and
contrite spirit before Him. He is sick of their pretending to love Him.
He is Almighty God and He deserves our reverence and adoration. He wants
our love and commitment. He says if we do not repent and let our sins be
washed away, by the precious blood of Jesus, He will not hear our
prayers.
God will not answer our prayers unless we are willing to give Him our
lives in return. He is not a Santa Claus who fulfills every wish, every
carnal desire. He demands holiness, He demands our respect and love.
Otherwise He will not hear our prayers.
Prayer
Father God, forgive us for our pretending. Lord, lead us in the way we
should go. Give us a broken and contrite spirit. Wash us clean with Your
precious blood, Jesus. Help us to turn from evil. In Jesus name,
Amen.
