"I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; any shall see it and fear, and trust in the Lord." - Psalms 49: 1-3
Dear Friends,
I love to wash clothes. So, I wash at least five out of seven days a week. I remember as a little girl we had an old washer and the clothes had to be pulled through a ringer. My mother made it look simple but I knew it wasn't.
My grandmother and aunt went to the laundromat. Going with them was like a field trip for me. All of the big washing machines. Clothes could be washed and dried in the machines. I was often allowed to put in the soap powder and I could help fold the clothes. Joy! I remember when my Father bought my mother an apartment sized washer and dryer. My mother was so happy. By this time we were living in the projects and there was a utility room. But Daddy bought us our own. The Lord God brought us from a mighty long way.
God picked me up out of filthy dirty clothes. Out of the miry clay He lifted me and set me upon a rock. God put me in the washing machine and cleaned me up. He established my goings by putting in "soak mode" to loosen up the dirt and grime. Glory to God. The Lord God brought us from a mighty long way.
The Holy Spirit the Great Stain Remover removes all the grime. The shed blood of Jesus covers me. The blood cleanses me. Talk about good detergent. The Blood. Glory to God! The Lord God brought us from a mighty long way.
"There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins. And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains; Lose all their guilty stains; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains."
The Lord God has brought us from a mighty long way.
God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
