Day 13: Cover

 

Cover: 

1. to be or serve as a covering for; extend over; rest on the surface of

2. to place something over or upon, as for protection, concealment, or warmth.

3. to protect or conceal

4.to bring upon (oneself)

 

1. God's presence is all around us, covering our lives like a thin layer of a dust that you only see if you're looking for it

2. God's love can feel warm and comforting, just like climbing into bed and snuggling under the covers after a long day

3. I feel like there are some Christians who use their "fervor" of faith as a cover for their own sins - I believe it is truly the greatest sin of all to judge/chastise others for their sins.

4.  We have the ability to cover ourselves with God's grace if we can humble ourselves, bring our worries to God, and identify and work to rectify our shortcomings. 

 

 

 Romans 4

¹³ Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith. ¹⁴ If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless. ¹⁵ For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)
¹⁶ So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.
