I lower my head for a moment,
To breathe from the flower I dreamed.

Something I cannot fathom,
As I ponder the twists of fate,
How is it the days are missing,
Near the signature for that date?

I know I always put it there,
So we’ll know how the order should rate,
I just think it’s quite odd to go missing,
When it’s eight, and it’s eight, and it’s eight.

(”Between” was written on August 8, 2008.)

[MEG33]

Happy Wednesday, MEG!! Sorry I haven’t stopped by sooner. I’ve been focused like a laser on the TX early voting.

Hope you’ve had a relaxing Wednesday. Blessings to you for the rest of the week.

Covering Sinkholes
February 20, 2014

Read: Psalm 32:1-5

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. —Psalm 32:1

Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 26-27; Mark 2

In late May 2010, tropical storm Agatha hit Central America, producing torrential rains and landslides. Once it finished its course, a 200-foot-deep sinkhole opened in downtown Guatemala City. This sinkhole caused the ground to collapse suddenly, sucking land, electrical poles, and a 3-story building into the depths of the earth.

Though sinkholes can be devastating, the most universal and damaging sinkhole is the one that happens in the human heart. King David was an example of this.

The surface of David’s life looked stable; however, his interior life rested on a fragile foundation. After his sins of adultery and murder, David thought he had successfully hidden his treacherous acts (2 Sam. 11–12). However, God’s intense conviction after Nathan’s confrontation caused him to realize that denying the presence of sin in his life weakened the foundation of his spiritual life. To prevent this spiritual sinkhole from worsening, David acknowledged his sin to God in repentance (Ps. 32:5). As a result, God covered David’s sin and gave him the joy of forgiveness.

We too will experience God’s grace when we confess our sins to Him. He will completely forgive and cover our spiritual sinkholes.

Thinking It Over
What habitual sins, secret addictions, or hidden
vulnerabilities are weakening your interior life?
Remember, God longs to give you complete forgiveness.

When we uncover our sins in repentance God will cover them.
