“Come now, and
let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be
as wool."
- Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV)
“Do overs!”
I doubt any of us have gone through life without shouting that phrase — or hearing it yelled across a playground, a backyard, or maybe even a board game table. When we were kids and the dice didn’t roll our way, “do overs” was the ultimate rule. You said it, and that was it — instant reset!
But somewhere along the way, as we grew up and entered the world of jobs, responsibilities, and real consequences, “do overs” disappeared. We’ve all had moments we wish we could redo — a word spoken too sharply, a choice made too quickly, or an opportunity left untouched.
The good news? With God, do overs still exist.
Isaiah 1:18 reminds us that God invites us into a conversation with Him — “Come now, and let us reason together.” He doesn’t stand back with arms crossed waiting to condemn us. He says, “Let’s talk this through.” Even when our mistakes stain deep like crimson, His forgiveness makes us white as snow.
We might not get to undo the past, but we can start fresh through repentance and His mercy. When we humble ourselves and ask for His forgiveness, He doesn’t just wipe the slate clean — He gives us the strength to move forward differently.
I may not be perfect (none of us are), but I serve a perfect God who helps me do better.
He wants us to listen, to care for others the way He cares for us. And when we ask Him for help, He will help us — because there is none stronger, and none more willing to see us restored.
So today, what “do over” do you need to bring before God?
He’s ready to listen.
