The Bible is a shockingly revealing book. It doesn’t cover anything up. If a man or woman of God succumbs to temptation and makes a mess of things the Bible tells it like it is. And when the grace of God redeems and restores those who have fallen their experience serves to encourage the rest of us. Their human failings, forgiven and redeemed, give us hope. If God could use imperfect people like Moses, David, Peter and others, then maybe He can use flawed human beings like you and me.
“My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline,
— Hebrews 12:5 (MSG)
but don’t be crushed by it either.”
Lord, help us to accept Your discipline when we make a mess of things. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
