3-4 Joshua, standing before the angel, was dressed in dirty clothes. The angel spoke to his attendants, “Get him out of those filthy clothes,” and then said to Joshua, “Look, I’ve stripped you of your sin and dressed you up in clean clothes.”
No specific take today, i just enjoyed the imagery throughout the chapter especially the thought of being pulled out of my own dirty clothes and that fresh feeling of a good shower and nice clean clothes to start a new day--all the worries of the sins staining those clothes completely washed away.

reminds me of my Grandpa Pranger - he used to always say, "we're off, like a dirty shirt"
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a little bit on this one. I think the picture painted here is pretty significant. Joshua is bringing the dirt to the party. He isn't bringing anything good on his own. What he has to present to the Lord is filth. That would seem to play right into Satan's hands. Its easy to accuse someone who is standing there in that condition. But, God brings the grace....and give Joshua the clean clothes. God provides them. Joshua can't do it on his own.
