| When You Look at the Clouds |

Okay, I'm stuck on a "sky" theme! But honestly I just happened to read a great passage in Corrie ten Boom's book Don't Wrestle, Just Nestle! I just had to share it.
When you look at the clouds, contemplate Corrie's thoughts on the forgiveness of our sins:
"Did you ever see a cloud again, after it had disappeared? No, the cloud that appears afterward is a different one.
We do not honor God by asking forgiveness a second time for the same sin.
Say, 'God has beaten this thing. He had forgiven this sin and forgotten it. I can do the same in His strength.'
Remember that the victory has been won. Claim that victory as your own......There is far more victory within your reach than you have realized."
~Corrie ten Boom
44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
Wow, what a Godincidence!!! I had no idea the ASV version of this verse uses "clouds" as the metaphor; the version Corrie quoted said "morning mist."
