Isaiah 44-45; Joel 1; Luke 12:1-34

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown." William Penn

O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens. 7 Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been very guilty, and for our iniquities we, have been delivered into the hand of our enemies. 8 And now for a little while grace has been shown from you LORD, to leave us a remnant, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival. For we were slaves to sin. Yet you did not forsake us in our bondage; but extended mercy to us, to revive us. And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments, And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this, 14 should we again break Your commandments, and commit these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor? 15 O LORD God, You are righteous. Here we are before You, in our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this!”
