God's thick cloud.

There were beautiful clouds in the sky Saturday. Big, thick, billowy clouds.

Yesterday morning during family worship, we paused in our reading to discuss this verse:

"I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee" (Isaiah 44:22).

We we're talking about how God covers our sins with Christ's righteousness. One of the kids asked how it is that God sees everything, but does not see our sins, as if a cloud covered them. We then talked about God being all-seeing and all-knowing, and yet He chooses not to keep our sins in His view, before His eye, hold them against us, because He loves us. This is where Conner came up with a wonderful example. He says, "That's kinda like Noah's sons, who walked backwards and covered their dad with a blanket instead of looking at him naked." Yeah, it's kinda like that, isn't it?
