[Discoveries] 10-14-08 Let's be reasonable -- Isaiah 1:18

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins 
are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." -- Isaiah 1:18*/

God may be absolutely holy, but don't make the mistake of thinking that 
holiness is unreasonable. It is not.

God is seeking you.

Even if Jesus is your Lord and Savior, God is still seeking you. A good 
husband doesn't stop courting his wife even after they say, "I do."

God is seeking you, and He has an offer for you that is perfectly 
reasonable. The next step in your journey with God is a step just right 
for your feet of faith to take.

"Reason together." God wants to engage you. Do you have objections? He 
wants to hear them.

Through this process of reasoning with God, what is false falls away so 
what is true may remain. As all our pretensions are stripped away, and 
the compelling sweetness of God's offer becomes clear, we are changed. 
Our many sins become unsatisfying and irrelevant to our new life in 
Christ. They, too, drop away as the reasonableness of God takes hold.

Be encouraged!
Dwight

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
