When was the last time you have gotten yourself in a complete mess? How easy is it to get into those messes in our lives? If you have walked some of the trails that I have been on, you realize that you just didn't wake up one morning and say "wow, decisions, money, and/or relationships in my life are a total mess.
Messes have a way of sneaking into our lives. For the person that does not follow Christ, that could be a natural state to live in. For the Christ follower, we seem to spend more time covering our messes (sin) like a cat instead of coming clean to God with what He already knows. Our sin does need to be covered, because it is ugly, stinks, and creates damage in our lives. The only thing that can cover our messes is the blood of Christ.
This Sunday we continue in our series "Identity", as we focus on MESS. Psalms 32 will be our focal chapter. Hope to see you Sunday.
Psalm 32:5 NKJV
"I acknowledge my sin to You, and my inquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and You forgave the iniquity of my sin".
