Nowhere To Hide
November 14, 2012

I smelled something burning, so I hurried to the kitchen. Nothing was on the stove or in the oven. I followed my nose through the house. From room to room I went, eventually ending up downstairs. My nose led me to my office and then to my desk. I peeked beneath it and there, peering back at me with big eyes pleading for help, was Maggie, our dog, our very “fragrant” dog. What smelled like something burning when I was upstairs, now had the distinct odor of skunk. Maggie had gone to the farthest corner of our house to escape the foul smell, but she couldn’t get away from herself.

Maggie’s dilemma brought to mind the many times I have tried to run away from unpleasant circumstances only to discover that the problem was not the situation I was in but me. Since Adam and Eve hid after sinning (Gen. 3:8), we’ve all followed their example. We run away from situations thinking we can escape the unpleasantness—only to discover that the unpleasantness is us.

The only way to escape ourselves is to stop hiding, acknowledge our waywardness, and let Jesus wash us clean (Rev. 1:5). I am grateful that when we do sin, Jesus is willing to give us a brand-new start.

From the wondrous cross on Calvary
Flows the stream that still avails,
Cleansing hearts and bringing victory
Through that love which never fails. —Elliott

Sin’s contamination requires the Savior’s cleansing.

Read: Genesis 3:6-13,22-24

To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood. —Revelation 1:5

Bible in a Year:
Acts 17-18

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

We yield to our neighbors,
even our animal neighbors
the same right as ourselves,
to Inhabit this land.
~Sitting Bull

“We have the wolf by the ears, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go.
Justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other.”
~Thomas Jefferson

“A fox is a wolf who sends flowers.”
~Ruth Weston

The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range.
Three weeks later, a wolf walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth.
The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes.
He took the precious book out of the wolf's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!"
"Not really," said the wolf. "Your name is written inside the cover."

From the first man has wanted to be God. Satan wanted to be above God.'New Age' religions today tell us we are God, making our own life to be what we want. God set limits. 'Do not eat from the fruit of the tree of good and evil, or you will surely die.' Eve was deceived, and desired to be 'wise' from eating the fruit of the tree of good and evil.

FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE. IT IS THE CONSTANT CHOICE IN MANKIND TO BE THE CAPTON OF OUR LIFE. A CONTINUING CHOICE WE MAKE OVER AND OVER. OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S RULES/INSTRUCTIONS ARE THE TEST GIVEN TO MAN. ARE WE OBEDIENT?

SIMPLE ENOUGH ... DO WE LOOK UP, APPRECIATE, LOVE AND FOLLOW GOD'S COMMANDMENTS? IT IS THE ONLY WAY!!!

GOD PLACED MAN IN EDEN AND WE HAD/HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED AVAILABLE, YET, WE MESS UP, OVER AND OVER.

"Love THE LORD GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, SOUL, MIND, STRENGTH, and thy neighbor as thyself."
