09/23/12 - Zechariah 1 - 4

S - Zechariah 3:1 - Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.  2 And the Lord said to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you, O Satan!  The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you!  Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?"  Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments.  4 And the angel said to those who were standing before him, "Remove the filthy garments from him."  And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments."  5 And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head."  So they put a clan turban on his head and clothed him with garments.  And the angel of the Lord was standing by.

O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . you have come to me in filthy rags.  But I removed them and placed you in clean clothes.  I have restored you to the cleanness that you once were and have washed you.  Now go and live like you are one of my children, who belongs to me and obeys my commands.  

A - The Lord has cleansed me from all of my sins and transgressions.  The least I can do is obey him and follow his commands.  I should want to tell others of what he has done for me so they will want the same for themselves.  

P - Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you have done for me.  Thank you for rescuing me from my sin.  Forgive me for those times when I forget all of this and try to live my own way.  Help me to want to share you with others.
