Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the Masters.

We're devoting ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

We're picking back up with new morning mercies,

I'm just gonna take it from here.

It says this,

perhaps Isaiah 53, verse 6 is the most accurate diagnostic passage in the Bible.

All we like sheep have gone astray.

We have turned every one to his own way and the Lord has laid on him the

iniquity of us all. Now what you have to see first in this passage is divided

into two parts, diagnosis and cure. You simply

will not be interested in the cure if you haven't accepted the diagnosis and you

have to know that the cure is only as effective as the accuracy of the diagnosis.

The diagnosis is, all have gone astray, each turning to his own way. The first thing that should hit you in this diagnosis

is it is all inclusive. There are no exceptions. It is an accurate description of the heart

and life of every person who has ever lived.

You and I must forsake our attempts to convince ourselves and others that we are the exceptions.

Whatever this passage is describing is something we all do.

What is it?

Well, in some way, we all wander away

from the Creator's plan for us.

We all find ways to step outside of his boundaries.

We all do things that he does not want us to do
