Zechariah 3: 3-4 Now Joshua the High priest was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the angel of the Lord. Then He answered, Take away the filthy garments from him. See I have removed your iniquity from you and I will clothe you with rich robes.
.
When I truly approach God I fully comprehend that I am clothed in filth. I may think I'm coming before Him wearing my Sunday best, yet in comparison to purity I easily understand my filthiness. I cannot scrub hard enough to become clean enough to stand in the presence of God. But, because God is love, He does for me what I cannot do for myself. He removes my iniquity because I can't remove it. Then when I am cleaned to my soul, the Father wraps me in rich robes that I cannot provide for myself. Unmerited and completely unbelievable!
.
I approach God with all my filth and He doesn't cast me out of His presence. Instead Father, through the cross you remove my iniquity, you clothe me in Jesus, and I stand before you as a son! Awesome!
.
Teach me to walk in your ways, and to obey your commands. Lead me to the understanding that your will IS my blessing.
