Daily Dose of God's Word For 9-16
My friend Don Cole is 93 and evidence that the old dog, is never too old to learn a new trick. Visiting him, he told me about how his family took him to the Flying W Ranch church, and how the preachers sermon was all about blood. Then Don said; "I did not know the bible taught so much about blood, and I wan't to know more. So Don this weeks dose is for you.
Have you ever seen a person who was receiving a blood transfusion? The blood was precious, life-giving, and certainly not repulsive. The blood of Christ may seem to be a grim and repulsive subject . . .[but] the blood of Christ is precious.” ― Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
Memory Verse: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14
Isaiah 1:1-18
Don’t be confused at the use of “red” and “scarlet” in this verse. This is a case of the Bible emphasizing something by repeating it in a different way. This passage is saying that God has the ability to take sins and purify them. Notice that the color red (or scarlet) is used to describe sin. This repeats a number of times throughout the Bible, pointing to the fact that “red” is often synonymous with sin—and it must be cleansed. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/christiancrier/2014/11/03/what-does-the-color-red-mean-or-symbolize-in-the-bible/
Pray
Lord -Jesus, you taught us to pray. Now help us pray for our daily bread while laboring with love for those who hunger. Show us how to hallow your name while striving for justice in our relationships and in society. May our whole lives become a prayer, ever to your glory. Amen. http://commonprayer.net
