Yesterday was a very busy day, Father, so I am definitely slow on the draw today. With a full day of work ahead, please help me to…stop…and think of You. And before I act, on any front, to do as You would do. Amen.
Lord Jesus, I have to write about the beauty displayed before me this morning! It is not unusual to have snow here in Ohio during the spring but a five-inch show at home was followed up by a 30-mile exposition all the way to work! Roadways were perfectly clear, and by the time I headed off to work at 8:20, so were the skies! The entire route to work including I-71 was laden with trees covered in glistening white snow! I truly don’t remember ever seeing such a spectacle of utter beauty!
Lord, is that what you see when You look at us? For the untold millions that have accepted Your free gift of salvation, are we a sea of white before You?
King David, a man after Your own heart, wrote,
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7
This past Lenten season has given me a fresh reminder of the sacrifice You endured, ensuring that I could stand before You purified of my sins, clean, whiter than snow.
You proclaimed through the prophet Isaiah,
“Come now, let’s settle this…Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.” Isaiah 1:18
There is no mention of us making our sins white as snow, only You can do so. All praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ “for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 NIV
Amen and amen!
