Thoughts for another day

Sept. 17, 2009

Today's verse: Is. 1:18. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Many of us will be filled with the pain of not being with God fully. We sin and fall short of God’s glory. We are far removed from His cover of glory because of sin and also because of the lack of all-the-time consciousness of God’s Grace upon us. Over a period of time, we become so callous that we even dismiss God as someone who is perhaps not real, nor can be depended upon. The reality however is that God is real; more real than you and I are. He can be depended upon when in any kind of trouble and even more than humans for He is always there because sometimes the one human we need most may not be available.

God is ever ready to help us and comfort us; when He created us, He assumed this role. He still believes in it because He had ordained things that way before creation. Only He wants that we return to Him from the heart and then He can release His awesome power in our lives.

Jesus came upon the earth, so that things could be set right, the very things that man had twisted to imperfection. God in His mercy yet wants that we are brought back to that perfection that He Himself wanted for us. In today’s verse, He declares, ‘Come, let us sit and reason together.’ He affirms that though our sins have sullied our souls, He will wash them clean and bright. You see, God usually begins with the soul for that is you and that is what you have for eternity which God wants you spend with Him. Even at that, God still looks after our needs and satisfies us with Himself only. What more can we then ask for?
