WHITE LIKE SNOW
Isaiah 1:16-20
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean. Put away the evils from your souls before My eyes. Cease from your evils. Learn to do good. Seek judgment and redeem the wronged. Defend the orphan and justify the widow. Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “although your sins are like crimson, I shall make them white like snow, and although they are as scarlet, I shall make them white like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good things of the land. But if you are unwilling and disobedient, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Encouraging Words
Because of God's great love for us and His mercy and grace, our sins will be forgiven and we will stand purified before our God cleansed by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. His desire is that all of His creation will turn to Him and away from the ways and desires of the world. But our life in Christ does not stop there. When we truly turn our lives over to God, we will desire to serve Him. We will desire to wash and become clean. We will desire to put away evil from our eyes and our minds. We will desire to defend the orphan and justify the widow amongst us. God forgive me of my pride and arrogance that constantly puts me and my desires before You and my neighbor. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
