Scripture
Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us argue this out, says the Lord. No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool.”
Observation
No matter what condition I am in, the Lord always says come. It is never go away. God always invites me to come to him. Even in my sins, God desires a relationship with me. This verse tells us that he is willing and able to cleanse me from my sins no matter how bad and ugly they are. He can remove any stain. He can cleanse any sinner. I can come to God and be cleansed of my sins so that I am free to love and worship him. What a deal! What a God!
Application
I should never hide from God. I should never run from God. He will welcome me. His love is unconditional. If I repent of my sins, he will cleanse me. There is no sin too great for God to forgive. There is no stain too deep to be cleansed. If I confess my sins, He is faithful, to forgive and cleanse me of all unrighteousness. What a savior! I must respond with great gratitude. I have to worship Him. He is worthy of all my praise.
Prayer
Thank you for my salvation. Thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for your love and acceptance. Thank you for grace and mercy. Thank you for cleansing me. Thank you for setting me free from the penalty and power of sin. Thank you for loving me. I love you. I worship you. I praise you. You are good. You are great. You are my God.
