Show notes
Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our prayers for Advent 2020. Today we are reading out of Isaiah 1:18 which says "“Come now, let us settle the matter, says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
"Notice how it says “Come now, let us settle the matter” almost like let’s just say this one time for all. Though our sins are like scarlet. Pause - that essentially says, there is no denying that we sin. Every day we fall short. We lose our tempers, battle with worldly temptations and sometimes we give into them. We gossip at times. We may fall too temptation. We may do something that is out of character. The list can go on and on. So once we accept that some of our behaviors are short of righteous, then we can hand them over freely to Jesus.
Why? Well because with God we are white like snow. Everyday we get to wake up and decide we are going to live a life after God’s own heart. We get to choose, and when we choose to accept what happened 2,000+ years ago on the cross we can walk in the pureness of his grace.
He took our sins, and he buried them in the grave. He took our addictions, our short comings, our tempers, our selfishness, our impulses, and we took care of them. So that we may walk in freedom.
It’s exciting because everyday we do this, everyday we choose to walk alongside Him, we grow. We become better. We become wiser. We become more like Him."
