As I look out the window to the snow covered yard, I am reminded of the words of Isaiah, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;” Fresh snow is such a beautiful white. But time and traffic and snow plows tend to come along and take the beauty of the snow away, making it brown and dirty and ugly. Satan works to take what God has done in us, through the blood of Christ and tries to mess it up and make our clean life dirty. But this morning I want to remind you of the words in Isaiah 41:13, “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you. Do not fear; I will help you.” God can keep our lives clean and pure and white as a fresh blanket of snow. Let’s trust Him and follow His ways.
