Snow Day


18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good things of the land;
20 but if you resist and rebel,
you will be devoured by the sword.”
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.


Isaiah 1:18-20


We've recently had some snow in Texas and it's been a reminder to me that the Lord has cleansed us white as snow. Not sure where you are from and how much snow you have seen.
It's amazing how in your dark house the snow can light up the walls because of how bright it is. How amazing that is that God has cleansed us white as snow? No spots, no blemishes, not off-white or cream but white as snow.

I borrowed this photo from someone in our office, it's a photo of their white dog playing in the snow. On it's own, this dog looks to be very white but when in the snow appears to be darker than the snow on the ground. No matter how hard we might try to cleanse ourselves of sin, we are simply not white as snow. Yet when God forgives us of our sins we are pure white.
