Triggers that prompt hiding
July 26, 2018
Thankfully all human behavior is highlighted in the Bible. Through parables, instruction, and real people stories, we see life lived well and life destroyed by sin.
Sin, wrong doing, we know it, our conscience prompts us, yet triggers from our past can be a strong pull to repeat that behavior for whatever short term gratification we experienced. By nature, we don’t repent. We hide. Hiding is not a solution, nor is cover up. Natural, but not good. Hiding takes energy to keep that behavior, that habit under wraps. It takes mental gymnastics as we try to rationalize our reason for hiding even lying. We move on but without a clear conscience.
Solution: repent. Agree with God our sin. Confess it. He forgives. We move on in freedom.
