Isaiah chapter 44 verse 22.

I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist.

Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

Think about what this verse represents in your life. When we turn from our

sins to God, when we trust in Him for the forgiveness of our sins,

specifically trust in Christ as the one who paid the price for our sins, then by faith in Christ in returning to God and

repenting from sin, turning from our sin and trusting in him, God says, I've blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like

mist. You think about it. Can you see mist? I know it's just kind of it's kind of there and it evaporates it's gone and this is the picture of our sins before a holy god. Just think about it. All of your sins, all of your

disobedience to God. I think about, I don't like to think about all the sins in my life, but I think about them just in the last week,

just the ways I've sinned in ways that I wouldn't want anybody else to know, but knows and by his grace he totally blots out

that when he sees me when he sees you by faith in Christ when he sees us he doesn't see our

sin he sees the very righteousness of Jesus this is what redemption means that when we stand before a holy God, the price for

our sins have been paid and they are wiped away.

They're gone, like mist gone.

So God, we praise you for this reality today.

We praise you for forgiving us of our sin,

for freeing us from the ultimate penalty of sin.

Eternal death, Jesus, thank you for paying the price for our sins so that right now we can

pray right where we are, whether we're riding in a car sitting at work at home by ourselves with family

Just wherever we are we can look up to you in prayer and know that by faith in Christ you have blotted out our transgressions like a cloud and our sins like mist.

That you've removed them from us, that you don't hold us accountable in an ultimate sense for them. God, thank you. So help us to
