The monthly association dues for the condo community are paying off today, big time! Check out the pics. Snow removal men are here to dig out my sidewalks and driveway. Very, very nice!
This snow reminds me of the awesome handiwork of God. Each snowflake created by the Creator is unique. No two snowflakes are the same. Beyond that He uniquely creates each of us for one purpose – His glory. The psalmist writes, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:13-14).
As I look at all of this snow, I am reminded of Christ’s precious blood, shed on the cross so you and I can have forgiveness of sins. “And without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22b). Not only is there the forgiveness of sins, but the cleansing of all unrighteousness through the confession of sins.
Ever tried to get one of your favorite shirts or pants clean after something has spilled on it? After scrubbing over and over again with every cleaning agent known to man, including bleach, that still will not come completely clean. Not so, with the blood of Christ.
“Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow” (Psalm 51:7).
“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:8-9).
Whiter than snow.
