DEVOTIONAL INSIGHTS & REFLECTIONS

CLEAN ON THE INSIDE, November 25

The only thing that can make us clean on the inside... is the appropriated blood of Jesus. Jesus Christ is the yoke destroying, burden-bearer of our sin.

"…Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow. 'Come now, and let us reason together,' Says the LORD, 'Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool. If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;…'" ~Isaiah 1:17-19

Jesus says, "…All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.…" ~Matthew 11:27-29

Only God through His Son Jesus the Christ, by the power of His Holy Spirit can give us true complete and total peace---that surpasses all understanding.

"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.…" ~Isaiah 9:6-7

"…Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.…" ~Philippians 4:6-8

I pray you really know Him in the power of His resurrection and in the fellowship of His suffering. (See Philippians 3:10.)

Jesus loves you with an everlasting love that never diminishes.
