Scripture: He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” Genesis 3:10 (NIV) Application: Sin makes us do things that no thinking and experienced animal under attack would do. We hide from our Rescuer. It makes far more sense for us to look at the state we're in when we sin. We're being attacked by spirits far more cunning than we have ever been. Sin makes us separated from God, and in need of help to deal with our lying, addictions, cheating, and otherwise horrible behavior. But perhaps our being so ashamed of our actions causes us to try and "cover it up" with more lies, or better yet, pretend that we can hide from God. Only God can cover our sins. And He's provided a Way. Jesus Christ. So the next time we find ourselves trying to hide from God out of fear, let's come out in the open, bearing all our misdeeds in our hands, lift them up and plead, "God, only You can take them away. Please do." Prayer: Father, we've sinned. Worse yet, we've tried to cover the sin up and hide from You. Please forgive us, take away these sins, and mold us into better beings who will not sin so often and so stupidly. Amen. Comments are closed.
