Genesis 3:8-10
Adam and Eve heard God toward them and there were afraid to they hid. God asked "where are you?" God doesn't need to ask, He already knows, maybe he asks so that we'll understand where we are, that we're not walking beside Him anymore. Adam tells God that they were afraid because they were naked so they hid. How many times are we afraid because we are naked and vulnerable? When we sin, suddenly we have something to hide. When we realize things aren't how they seem, that we are walking vulnerable, we hide. Maybe it's time to step out of our hiding, expose ourselves to God and be vulnerable before Him! Later is says that God clothes them. He will take care of us. We can't just go through life hiding behind trees, jumping into bushes, we need to cast fear aside and be completely vulnerable before God. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. Give God the chance to clothe us, to mend us, to take care and support us. This first requires stepping out and surrendering ourselves to God!
Thank-you Jesus for you love and support. I want to stand before you vulnerable and fully surrendered. Help me make the right choices, I can't make these decisions on my own. I'm completely alone and susceptible, right now. I can't rely on anyone else but you. I'm desperate Jesus. Speak to me, use me. All I want is more of you.
