Zechariah3:1 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[e] plucked from the fire?” 3 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 clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.
What an awesome picture of what God has done for us! Satan is the accuser of the brethren, but God is there to cleanse us and give us hope in Him! Jesus made it possible for us to receive clean garments!! He spiritually cleanses us so that we are holy as He is holy! Rejoice today in your salvation!
Hebrews 13:14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." 16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
God is faithful & just! Hebrews 13 was in my daily devotion time this morning. This goes right along with what was being studied at our church service on Wednesday night from the book of Joshua! We discussed God's rest and our obedience to Him. It's really awesome to see God teach us as a body & on a personal level, yet give the same message!
