Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith? "Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you. Luke 12:27-31 WEB.
God made Adam and Eve clothing in Genesis 3:21 right after they broke the only commandment He had given them. Parents are funny like that. Children can misbehave, cry, whine, complain, and want everything bad for them. Yet, the parents will still clothe them the best they can because they love them.
The Lord Jesus was crucified so that He could clothe us in righteousness. He put on our dirty sin-covered clothing at the cross and covered us in His gleaming white robe of righteousness. Jesus died on the cross while spiritually wearing the sin of the universe. When we make Him Lord of our life, we put on His gleaming white robe of righteousness. Jesus gave us a fresh start, a new beginning, an undo button called "Repentance" that removes our sins from us.
"Come now, and let's reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18 WEB).
No matter what you have done today, God loves you, and He wants to take care of You. He has provided you with new clothing and taken your past away with all the dirty laundry. Our checkered history only exists in our memories, not His. Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for letting me wake up again today. Thank You for the clothes that I have to wear. You have taken care of me and brought me this far, and for that, I am truly thankful. Please open the doors that You want me to step through and fulfill Your will in my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Site update #586: I completed a large update to the Audio Library on the left sidebar. There is now a live service archive of all past services, full-length in case you miss a service and want to catch up, as well as all of our original music. You can download the .mp3 files directly to your device now to listen when you don't have internet. I also added a pop-out player so you can listen without remaining on the page. Give it a try and let me know if you have any problems. 😀

He did wake me again today! I thank Him that I have clothes to wear and I have staff who work here, and our laundry is done by them! He has opened doors for me, and I know there are more He wants me to step through. I am asking His will to be done in my life to give me peace, a purpose and a plan for today and the future in Jesus' name, Amen
Amen and Amen!!! Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to always be content in what ever state I'm in, to always count my blessings and be thankful, there is so much to be thankful for, but most of all for the unmerited gift of forgiveness and salvation!!!

What a blessing, Pastor Dion! The audio library page is easy to navigate and I truly appreciate the pop-out player, as I have many tabs open during my computer sessions and this allows me to keep the music flowing. Well done! 😊🎶

sounds great. I know that will be useful for me...need to write that down. Hope the Todd family have a blessed Saturday and Sunday. I do believe God gave us those 2 special days for His sake and our sake! Work hard or volunteer (myself) hard through the week. We get our rewards here on Earth and rewards in Heaven.
