“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall
be as white as snow;”
Isaiah 1:18
After days of dire weather predictions, it has finally begun to
snow here in South Carolina. This Texas
girl is more excited than the neighborhood kids. Snow, there is just nothing like it. Our grass had already turned brown thanks to
some earlier frosty mornings. But now,
it is covered in a thin layer of snow.
It looks beautiful, pristine and perfect. Not an unsightly mark in sight. Tomorrow morning, this same yard will be
covered in grandchildren’s foot prints and paw prints of the neighborhood dogs
and cats. But for now, it is
perfection. It will only last a couple
of days, but we have stocked the pantry and are ready to enjoy being snowed in.
The LORD does that with our sins, just as soon as we confess
them. Though they are scarlet, they are
white as snow. Pure perfection. It won’t last. We will surely mess up again, but there is no
better feeling than being washed white as snow.
