Made Clean
August 30, 2017
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean.
Ezekiel 36:25
When I opened our dishwasher, I wondered what went wrong. Instead of seeing sparkling clean dishes, I removed plates and glasses that were covered in a chalky dust. I wondered if the hard water in our area was wreaking havoc, or if the machine was broken.
Gods cleansing, unlike that faulty dishwasher, washes away all of our impurities. We see in the book of Ezekiel that God is calling His people back to Himself as Ezekiel shared Gods message of love and forgiveness. The Israelites had sinned as they proclaimed their allegiance to other gods and other nations. The Lord, however, was merciful in welcoming them back to Himself. He promised to cleanse them from all [their] impurities and all [their] idols (36:25). As He put His Spirit in them (v. 27), He would bring them to a place of fruitfulness, not famine (v. 30).
As in the days of the prophet Ezekiel, today the Lord welcomes us back to Him if we go astray. When we submit ourselves to His will and His ways, He transforms us as He washes us clean from our sins. With His Holy Spirit dwelling within us, He helps us to follow Him day by day.
Lord God, the feeling of being cleansed and forgiven is like no other. Thank You for transforming me into a new person. Teach me to submit to You daily that I might grow more and more closely into the likeness of Jesus.
Can we find ourselves in the men and women of the Bible? We are there in Ezekiels vision of a God whose love can be a consuming fire. The people of Jerusalem were headed for exile in Babylon to learn for themselves that a love affair with self-made gods would ruin them. Yet our story doesnt end with Israel in Babylon. The long-awaited Messiah shows us how far our God is willing to go to help us let go of worthless loves, so that He can forgive us and restore us to Himself. Mart DeHaan

Your Risk Taking Level: LowYou live your life with the motto: safety first.
You prefer to not take any risks at all.
But by never taking a risk, you're chancing something else...
A very boring and predictable life!
Personal note: I like my boring life.

"Your Risk Taking Level: Medium-Low" |
You'll take a risk if you have to, but you prefer to err on the side of caution. If something looks like it's going to work out, you may just go for it. But frivolous risks like gambling totally aren't your style. You prefer to have as much control over your life as possible

We've been close to home the last week or so. Prayers up for Texas - this one is a real disaster.

LOL, you Canteen galz are interesting.
Biggest risk I ever took was actually mandatory, learning to repel in the Army.
Wait until you look down below you at a 70' cliff drop and the Instructor says, "Well, you going to repel or am I going to push you?!"
You clench several areas of your body, LOL.

I must be a risk taker, I’ve jumped
from a perfectly good airplane, twice. I survived Parris Island.
Was even married once, now I just have dogs.

I always thought of myself as a risk taker but my analysis was the same as yours.
“You’ll take a risk if you have to”.
