Psalm 51:7-10
Shower or Bath? I can hear some of you now, Are you kidding me? You're discussing showers and baths for the Promise? Yes...Yes, I am.
Some like a good, hot shower. Others prefer baths. One might ask, What's the difference as long as we get clean?
Well, I have noticed there is a difference - even between shower to shower. How's the water flow from the shower head? Is it hand-held or wall-mounted or both? Does it have a pulsating feature or not? And baths - how many different kinds of tubs have you seen or experienced? My favorite is the old clawfoot tubs - now if I had one of those, I might change my mind...
And some of the comments.
And some of the comments.
Shower - I just like to stand there and let that hot water beat down on me.
Bath - I like to sit there with the water up to my chin and let it just soak the stress away. Calgon built an empire on that premise. How many of you remember the ad slogan,"Calgon, take me away..." ?
The point is, we all feel better after getting in and getting clean from the grit and grime of the day. How much more so after being cleansed from the sins and stains of life? There isn’t enough soap or water or scrubbing to cleanse us from our sin and unrighteousness. But the promise is - whether we choose to stand under the flow of forgiveness or sink into the depths of His unlimited grace, we are washed clean – inside and out - by the Blood that flowed at Calvary.
Prayer:
Father,
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, give me back my joy again; You have broken me— now let me rejoice. Don’t keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen
