The Reason

Reading of the Day 8/15/25: Song of Solomon 8, Isaiah 1-2

Isaiah 1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

This post was meant for almost a month ago, but somehow The Lord always allows it to speak to me even if I revisit it at a later time. Reasoning...it's a tough thing to do in today's world. But if we think about it, the world's ways haven't changed. The same reason the prophets & preachers were killed, and most of all our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, is the same reason people are dying today. It's a sad case of forgetting The Reason behind the reasoning. Not many people reason for the sake of unity anymore. No longer wanting to find a way to come together. No longer wanting to drop certain ideals in order to have The Truth, peace, hope & love again. Isaiah said it right: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:" Jesus is the Reason for our reasoning! He is the Hope at the end of everyone's search for Truth! And that's because we can look at the second half of that verse: "...though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." He died, but rose again! He is alive today & brings each of us new life & a fresh start! Those who truly share Truth, share it from a place of equal imperfection. From a place of boldness, yet respect, dignity & humility. It takes a lot of bravery not to bend...but honestly, we have the easiest message to share. We ALL must be forgiven. Because of His red blood, we can have a white, clean, blank slate. We can celebrate this, while also mourning for those who still, to this day, shed blood for Truth. There is no reason for these acts except for a lack of being able to reason...or even, maturely agreeing to disagree. Sadly, some don't want to reason...because they don't want THE Reason behind the reasoning. It keeps coming full circle. There were just some crowds Isaiah couldn't reason with. There will be people we, too, cannot reason with. But that's ok, because when we have The Reason, we don't need the crowds. We don't reason just to be right...we are simply hoping & praying that they find The Reason too...Isaiah 6:8-9: "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not."
