avoidance

"We prefer to think about low self-image rather than nakedness before God. We are good at avoiding the holiness of God" (Welch, 124).

"...I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the
train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said:

'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!' "(Isaiah 6:1b-3, NKJV).

How can we possibly cling to our sin while claiming ignorance?
What mockery before God.

It is vital to be reminded of our dependence upon the Lord....It is also essential to remember that we are so sinful, Christ had to die, but that we are so loved, Christ chose to die (Timothy Keller).
