I stood there in that mill and observed the process by which expensive plywood was being manufactured. The laminated product had the clear sheet on the outside and all the deformed sheets on the inside. I related that to my life where I put forward a front to cover up what lies underneath. Sadly, there’s no hiding what I really am by nature, which is severely flawed.
Psalm 8:4
What is man that You are mindful of him?
Romans 7:18-20
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Do you have the same struggles as the Apostle Paul which he revealed in that passage in Romans? Thankfully, he and I both sought out the cover offered by the righteousness of Christ. Have you?
Give it some thought.
