Luke 12:27-31 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? "And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. ~ New King James Version (NKJV).

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!
