Day 5: Cleansing flood

You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea

“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity” (Zechariah 13:1).

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (John 7:37-38).

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).

Gracious Lord, we come before You in humble confession of our sins. We are not worthy of even the smallest of Your mercies. Yet, we know that Your forgiveness is according to the riches of Your grace, and for that, we praise You. We confess that we have not lived up to the high calling of being Your children, and we ask for Your forgiveness.

Lord, if any cloud has come between us and You, we ask that You remove it. If, in our journey through this world, we have picked up any stains, we ask You, dear Savior, to wash our feet. Cleanse us with Your precious blood, and assure us of Your promise: "You are clean every whit." Let us know that there is no condemnation, no separation from You.

We thank You for the assurance of Your cleansing power. You have removed our sins, both in their ability to destroy us and in their power to separate us from You. Lord, help us enter into full fellowship with You today. We want to walk in the light, as You are in the light, and enjoy the sweetness of communion with You.

As we confess our sins, we also rejoice in Your forgiveness. You are faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Lord, keep us close to You today, free from sin, and filled with the joy of Your salvation.

~ C. H. Spurgeon

Oh, now I see the crimson* wave! [*cleansing]

The fountain deep and wide;

Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,

Points to His wounded side.

Refrain:

The cleansing stream I see, I see!

I plunge, and, oh, it cleanseth me!

Oh, praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!

It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.

I see the new creation rise,

I hear the speaking blood;
