White as Snow!

Isaiah 1: 18

¹⁸ “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Seriously, the older I get the more I just really hate snow.

But yesterday afternoon I walked through the drifts in the church parking lot, and I stopped to pray once I arrived.

I looked over the serene setting in the rear of the church building, and it was white everywhere.

That’s what it looks like when I come before God and humbly confess my sins.

Does snow remind you at all of God’s cleansing power?

God is so faithful to forgive me and wash me and He make me all white again.

When’s the last time you came before God, and asked Him to change the crimson stain of your sin?

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive them.

I need to be purified. Do you need to be purified?

Even if God uses snow as an object lesson, I’m ok with that.

I asked God to do that at church yesterday.

When I left, I still wasn’t all the keen about the fresh snow that had fallen, but I sure felt a whole lot better inside.

I need to move through that confession exercise every day, because who in their right mind wants to be left out in the cold…
