Clothed In Righteousness

Clothed In Righteousness

This week has been very challenging and rewarding. It is never easy when we are still before the Lord and ask Him to examine our heart. To search deep and do Holy Ghost surgery to remove the deep rooted icky spots. It requires intense prayer and being submerged in the Word. Often, it is upsetting to see what comes out and we think Jesus is surprised at the ugly revealed in our hearts. However, he is not surprised nor is he disgusted.

When I got up this morning and grabbed my Jesus Calling Devotional, my sweet Jesus reminded me that, "When He disciplines me, it is never in anger or disgust; it is to prepare me for face-to-Face fellowship with Him throughout all eternity. He died for my sins, so I could be clothed in His garments of salvation."

"I will rejoice greatly in the Lord My soul will exult in my God;

 For He has clothed me with garments of salvation. 

He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, ...:"

Isaiah 61:10

What a great God we serve. Anger, disappointment, doubt and fear are transformed into forgiveness, love, contentment, security and trust; in the presence of our loving God.

Thanks for sharing this week with me. I pray that it has been as much of a blessing to some of you to read as it has been for me to share.
