Dealing With Shame and Guilt, Our Way or God's
11/13/24 • 12 min
Ponder with me about how we deal with shame and guilt. We all have it, though we may not have dealt with it as honestly as we should. That we all have it, is evidenced by the story of "the fall" in Genesis 3. That story is not just history. We are missing so much wisdom if we read it as just history. It is how sin works TODAY, and the fallout is the same too. The first thing they dealt with after sin, was shame. They tried to deal with it themselves, by themselves...and so do we. We need God to help us deal with it though. To God be the glory!

Previous Episode
Unassuming Approach to Life, Inquiring of Him
Ponder with me about how quickly and rashly we make life decisions at times. This episode is a bit of a contrast between the presumption that we studied about in the last episode vs. taking an unassuming approach to life. What does God want me to do? This disciplined approach was seen several times throughout king David's life, but it's perfectly seen in Jesus. David "inquired of God" -- that becomes a refrain throughout his life (though he wasn't perfect in it) and every time he does, his decisions are blessed! Ours will be too, if we'll live in this disciplined way. To God be the glory!

Conversation Amongst Tents
Ponder with me a conversation Jesus had with the Jews at the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7. By this time, they wanted to kill Him in Jerusalem already, but Jesus makes this pilgrimage to the city anyway. The first recorded conversation in John 7 begins with, "how can Jesus know so much when He's never studied?" He never went to their schools, didn't have a personal rabbi as His tutor...nothing that would have impressed anyone in the education realm. And yet, He was blowing people's minds with the Scriptures. Jesus' response is, "I'm from God!". He then proceeds to let them know how they can know that for certain and the reasoning He uses still stands today. To God be the glory!
