Unshakable Faith
Day 30: The Cover-Up
1. Are you wearing a veil that must be stripped away so that you can see the Lord as He is, and so that you can be real with one another?
I believe we are all guilty of putting on veils to cover up the things we hope no one sees or notices. We tend to believe we can put on a mask and hide the truth from others, we hope to hide the truth from ourselves and even hide it from God. But the truth is, that we may fool others for a while, and we might be able to fool ourselves for a short moment, but we will never be able to fool God. He sees all and knows all, and He loves us anyway. So we need to learn to take down those veils between us and God, and He will help us to remove them around other people as well.
2. Shedding your defense mechanisms allows you to see more of His glory, and the more you will become like Him.
God made all of us with the purpose of becoming Christ-like...and we must remove those veils in order to see His glory clearly, and it is only when we see His glory that we can be changed from glory to glory...step by step, to be more like Him, ultimately fulling the very purpose God has given us.
3. Have you covered the sin, or acknowledges it, fleeing to the cross for forgiveness and healing from the wound the sin has caused?
It is easy to think that covering the sin is the easy way out...but the truth is that covering the sin up doesn't change or help anything. We must acknowledge the sin, and flee to the cross for forgiveness and healing...without this, the sin is always right there under the surface, festering and causing more pain, deepening the wound. Jesus is the only answer!!
