We finally got our first snow of the winter and it is a good one!
I was able to go outside and play with my kids, throwing snowballs at each other and having a fun time.
Every time it snows, I think about the verse in Psalm 51, verse 7. “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
The psalmist here is writing about how God cleanses us from our sin and when He does, we shall be whiter than snow.
I think back to the day of my salvation, the day I accepted Christ as my Saviour. It was on that day, in God’s eyes, I became washed whiter than snow.
I’m thankful for salvation. I’m thankful that God loved me enough to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for my sins. I’m thankful that He would love and save a sinner such as I. I’m thankful that I am now a child of God! Nothing and no one can ever change that!
“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. “For I acknowledge my transgressions: And my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy spirit from me.” Psalm 51:1-11 KJV
