Wednesday 1/28/15 White As Snow 3

Dear Father in Heaven:  I love You and I appreciate all You do for all of us.  On this our Salvation Wednesday, please help us all to reach out to the lost and help lead them in to be saved.  Please, Lord, place Your healing hand on Don Coffin and a few others from the bus museum who are having some health issues.  Please, Lord, be with Vicki, Patsy, Burt, Barbara, Dolores, Grant, and others who have health issues.  Please help me with the message and then to get it dispatched.  In Jesus' Name, I pray.  Amen.

Brothers and sisters, it is Wednesday and that means it is Salvation Wednesday on this line and the day we work extra hard to bring in the lost.  It was a great day to take a nap.  I laid down after lunch with Angel, Bentley, Michael, Martin Martin Jr., Marvin, and Missy.  That count would be one human, four Yorkshires, and two really big cats.  Martin Martin Jr. thinks he is a human.  Okay, time to get to the message.

Salvation Wednesday:  January 28, 2015:  White As Snow (Day Three)

Isaiah 1:16 - Take your evil deeds out of my sight!  Stop doing wrong, 17 learn to do right!  Seek justice, encourage the suppressed.  Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.  18 "Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord.  "Though our sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wood.  19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land:  But if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword."  For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.  (NIV)

Psalm 51:7 - Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be clean:  wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.  (NIV)

I just love the scripture that God has pointed out to me today.

"Take our evil deeds out of my sight."  That is from the prophet Isaiah, but to me straight out of what God feels about us.  God does not want us to do evil deeds and by not doing them is the only way He will not see them.  You see, our good Lord sees all that we do, good and evil, and I am sure He loves to watch us doing good.  But we are to get the evil out of His sight.  In other words, STOP DOING EVIL THINGS.  Then we see a list of what we should do.  We are to stop doing wrong, we are to learn to do what is right.  We are to seek justice and we are to encourage others.  We are to defend the cause of the fatherless.  Let me pause there a tad.  Back then most of the fatherless would have been because the mothers were widowed.  Now it seems we have a lot of sperm donors running around.  Recently in Harrisburg a young man of just 18 was murdered.  A young girl who had a son to  him said he was such a wonderful father.  Turns out that this man at 18 already had 4 children to 4 different women.  Why was he murdered?  A drug deal gone wrong.  Yesterday they cut a ribbon to a new apartment in Harrisburg, and it was for a single mother.  She looked very young and she had five children.  Brothers and sisters, the word of God has not changed, we are to take care of the fatherless children.

The scripture goes on and tells us that God will cover our sins and we will be white as snow if we are obedient.  In our second scripture, it again talks about us being clean and if God will wash us we will be whiter than snow.  And if we really want God to wash us as white as snow, we need to just ask and then of course repent and be obedient to His Word.  Let's get clean.

Dear Father in Heaven, please clean me of my sins and wash me white as snow.  All glory and honor to You, dear Lord.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Now go forth and share your blessings.  Love ya.  Please share my love with others.
