Morning Mist

Bible in a Year:

• Hosea 5–8
• Revelation 2

I have swept away your offenses . . . like the morning mist.

Isaiah 44:22

One morning I visited a pond near my house. I sat on an overturned boat, thinking and watching a gentle west wind chase a layer of mist across the water’s surface. Wisps of fog circled and swirled. Mini “tornadoes” rose up and then exhausted themselves. Before long, the sunlight cut through the clouds and the mist disappeared.

This scene comforted me because I connected it with a verse I’d just read: “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist” (Isaiah 44:22). I visited the place hoping to distract myself from a series of sinful thoughts I’d been preoccupied with for days. Although I was confessing them, I began to wonder if God would forgive me when I repeated the same sin.

That morning, I knew the answer was yes. Through His prophet Isaiah, God showed grace to the Israelites when they struggled with the ongoing problem of idol worship. Although He told them to stop chasing false gods, God also invited them back to Himself, saying, “I have made you, you are my servant; . . . I will not forget you” (v. 21).

I don’t fully grasp forgiveness like that, but I do understand that God’s grace is the only thing that can dissolve our sin completely and heal us from it. I’m thankful His grace is endless and divine like He is, and that it’s available whenever we need it.

Reflect & Pray

How is it possible to abuse God’s grace? What steps can you take to break free of sinful habits and experience His forgiveness?

Dear God, thank You for Your gracious presence in my life. I don’t want to live in habitual sin. Help me to feel the freedom that comes when I confess my sin and You erase it completely.

Good evening ML ((HUGS))
How are things with you? Got snow?

[left that other site]

No snow right now, but very cold, bleak, and windy.

My Harley is already hibernating in my brother’s barn.

[beachn4fun]

Eeeek! That’s cold!

We’ve had some mornings around 29. Makes for a really chilly morning walk.
Tomorrow we’ll be in the 60s. Go figure.

Sorry about your idiot govy. Thankfully our govy only went back to stage one instead of closing things down, so that’s good.

[Biggirl]

Doing well! Did not get a wreath, that is okay.

Ready to hang around!

[beachn4fun]

Your Harley has good sense ;)

[beachn4fun]

Hanging around is what we do best in the Canteen. :~)

Lightman,

LOL. So I guess you will want a shot of real Kentucky bourbon in your coffee.

And thanks for joining us in the Canteen.
