White as Snow

We had our crosses silhoutted with snow last week here on our hill.
But years ago on a hill outside of Jerusalem stood three crosses silhoutted against a dark afternoon sky.

Hanging between two criminals was our Savior, both guilty as sin, one a believer, one unbeliever. One says "we are guilty He is not", the other scoffs "save us and yourself". One ask for mercy and received it. The other died in his sins.

The moment I snapped this picture - with all the snow at the cross, the only thing I could think of was "How fitting this picture was in correlation of what Christ did on that cross; He shed all of his blood so we could be made pure , as pure as the driven snow". If we will but only repent and accept Him as our Savior and Redeemer. We are just as guilty of sin as were those two that hung on each side of Jesus, and He is still in the business of forgiving if we will only seek Him and ask for forgiveness.

Praise,Praise,Praise...

Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;His love endures forever.(Psalm 106:1)

The Bible makes it clear we are to praise God. But sometimes we allow ourselves to become preoccupied with the demands of everyday life that we forget to say "Thank You" to the giver of all good gifts. Worship and praise should be a part of everything we do. Otherwise, we quickly lose perspective as we fall prey to the demands of the moment.

Do you sincerely desire to be a worthy servant of the one who has given you eternal love and eternal life? Then praise Him for who He is and for what He has done for you. And not just on Sunday morning. Praise Him all day long, every day, for as long as you live.. and then for all eternity.
Psalm 71:14 (But as for me. I will always have hope;I will praise you
more and more.)
