Whiter than snow….
23 Dec 2008
“…wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” Psalm 51:7b
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow…” Isaiah 1:18a
As we sit here in Spokane, WA under a very thick (24″ and climbing!) blanket of pure, white snow it brings to mind the phrase, ‘covers a multitude of sins!’ The beauty of it is this is so true! What lies underneath is out of sight and out of mind - at least temporarily. The nagging weeds, lose boards on the deck, and dead car no longer seem to haunt our ‘to do’ list. But with the never ending snow fall there are replacement items on that list - namely: shoveling, and more shoveling.
So it is with the Redeeming Blood of the Lamb - a multitude of sins covered (permanently!) so that we undeserving humans will radiate the glistening sparkle of pure, white, unscathed snow. The things of the past are no longer to weigh us down with ‘doing’, but with the new life we are given the power in ‘being.’ Our new assignment: To glorify the One who loves us more than life itself…Whose blood made us clean….forever.
As you look out your window - gaze into His purity falling from Heaven’s gates to remind us of the access we have to His Holy Power to be all that He wants us to be.
