Who Told You
“And
the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And
he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked;
and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?
Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not
eat?” (Genesis
3:9-11)
Today’s Morsel: Sometimes
people will come up to me and will say to me, “Brother Parker, is it true
that….” And I will say to them, “Who told you?” God wanted to know from Adam
who had told him that he was naked. God knew that He had not told Adam that he
was naked, so who told him that he was? Sometimes, if we are not careful, when
we make mistakes, we can just think that God cannot nor will he use us because
of them. But if God didn’t tell you that He would not use you, then don’t
believe the voice that you hear saying that He won’t. The mistakes that you may
have made and that God has delivered you from just might be the testimony that
someone else needs to hear to lead them to Christ. God wants you to be naked
(open and honest) before Him. We need to listen to what He is saying to
us.
Sing: Amazing
Grace, shall always be my song of praise, for it was grace that brought my
liberty. I do not know, just why He came to love me so, He looked beyond
my faults and saw my need.
I shall forever lift my
eyes to Calvary, to view the cross where Jesus died for me; how marvelous the
grace that caught my falling soul; He looked beyond my faults and saw my need.
Thought For Today: “Fear
not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the
kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)
