“You Shall Eat The Good Of The Land”

“Come now, and 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 be as wool.

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Isaiah 1:18-20

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psalm 51:7

It is winter. Think about last winter. Think about the snow. Each flake was different. Put them all together and you have something that resembles diamond dust.

The next time you see snow – in life or in photos – thank God for the forgiveness and the freedom from sin’s penalties that this beautiful, natural gift pictures for all who have put their trust in our Savior.

When Christ forgives us, our hearts are as clean as new-fallen snow.
