December 16th - Let Use Reason Together

"Come now, and let us reason (decide the matter) together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18)

God has decided that our sins were to be cleansed. Jesus cleansed us with His own blood. Jesus is the light shinning in a dark world.

"...if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)

To be honest, I only dimly see the beauty, wisdom, and glory of God in this world most of the time. And I do not see it in the words of men, but in the sunrise and the sunset ...

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” (Psalm 1:1-4)

The beauty of creation allows me to make the decision (reason) that although the sins of the world are  
"as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow". God declares this cleansing from sin from the beginning of creation. 

"I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish. I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it." (Isaiah 46:9-11)

Most of the time the best decision I can make is to do is nothing, just trust God until His plan is accomplished.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understandingIn all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straightDo not be wise in your own eyes; Be in awe of the LORD and turn away from evilIt will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones. Honor the LORD from your wealth, and from the first of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wineMy son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD or loathe His rebuke, for whom the LORD loves He disciplinesas a father disciplines the son in whom he delights. (Proverbs 3:5-12)

Because God decided the end from the very beginning, I can entrust me and my family to Him, knowing we will be delivered from this present wicked age into a New Heaven and New Earth.


"And I perceived a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth pass away, and the sea is no more...And I hear a loud voice out of the throne saying, "Lo! the tabernacle of God is with mankind, and He will be tabernacling with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them. And He will be brushing away every tear from their eyes. And death will be no more, nor mourning, nor clamor, nor misery; they will be no more, for the former things passed away." And He Who is sitting on the throne said, "Lo! New am I making all!(Revelation 21:1-4)
