Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!
Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today
"When God proclaims, 'You're clean!'"
NOTE: You may need to access this search page to access the Scripture reading below. Sorry for any inconvenience.
"It's clean, Mom?!"--oh really? Depends on who's speaking! If it's remembering my sons' claim they had "cleaned" their rooms, it sure was not clean in MOM'S eyes...and when they hung him on the cross, he was not clean either. He was a thief condemned to die--but not for long.
During those excrutiating hours, the thief recognized Someone hanging next to Him who in a split second of time would forever change his sentence--not man's but God's. Men still saw him as the dirty thief; Jesus saw him as a clean child of God. That's grace, God's amazing grace!
And it avails for you today. The second you confessed that sin to your Lord and asked His forgiveness, you were forgiven. Give no thought to the tempter's taunts. He "is a liar, and the truth is not in him (1 John 2:4)."
Your past is forgiven, forgotten and forever washed away. You're cleansed and declared righteous according to heaven's records. You are clean--heart, soul, body, mind and spirit--and that's what really counts. Believe it--let peace rule in your heart today and you will have a praise-filled, peace-filled day!
