I heard you, but I was afraid!

In this new year 2024, do you want more from God or less of God? It is time to leave 2023 behind us and begin to live intentionally this New Year. We must stop hiding and allow the power of God to propel us into the areas of life where we can be used to uplift and bless others.

(Genesis 3:9) “But the Lord God called to the man, where are you? He answered, I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so, I hid. And he said, who told you that you were naked?”

1. “I heard you:” You were present, you were active, and you were available. You called me.

2. “and I”: I exalted myself above you, turned from you because I focused on myself and found an excuse to hide from you. Fellowship with you became painful to me.

3. “was afraid:” My sin, my pride, my shame, my low self-esteem, I became stuck in them. Some people are still grieving over the mistakes of their past dwelling on how they failed God. Yet, the truth is that you can only fail someone who does not know what you are capable of. God knew of our failure before we ever failed.

4. “Who told you?” Who confessed, declared, confronted, conquered and overcame you?

Yet there is still hope to overcome our fears. We must turn to God and allow him to prune and propel us into the person he wants us to be. Focus on God’s goodness and stay strong.

(Luke 13:6) the man who took care of the vineyard, For three years now I’ve been comshould it use up the soil? Sir, the man replied, leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. cut it down.”

Whatever life throws at you this year use it as fertilizer for growth and maturity. Schedule

As we begin the new year, we are anxious about what this year could bring. Despite the change in the calendar, many continue with the same challenges and the unknown accentuate our feelings of fear of the future. In the face of so much uncertainty, we tend to succumb and forget the hope we harbor in our

For the tired, fearful or anxious, there is a light to guide you through whatever you face and there is hope. His name is Jesus, and His grace really is enough the holiday festivities, that Jesus came into the world and his life brought light to all. That light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. Moreover, with his life, he paid the price of our salvation and that brings us hope of eternal life.

Our challenge is to keep that light and hope alive in us all year, and at the asking yourself:

• What do I need to do to grow in the knowledge of Jesus and to keep the light and hope alive in my heart during this new year?

• How can I be a light to others for the honor and glory of our God?

Focus: Prayer of Repentance

Psalm 51,1-13 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions, Wash me thoroughly! From mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgression: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightiest be justifed when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part thou shall shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Make to hear joy and gladness that the bones which thou has broken may Rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in me. Cast me not away! From thy presence and take not away thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressor thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

David Took Personal Responsibility for His Sin

In Psalm 51:3, David stated, “I acknowledge my transgression.’’ The word “acknowledge” means more than just “admit.’’ Rather, it involves noticing, realizing, or discovering one sinfulness so that one becomes aware of his nature and is confronted by its reality. This was the result of Nathan’s declaration, thou art the man. The frst step in real repentance is recognizing the true nature of sin and accepting responsibly for one’s transgressions.

He stated that his sin is ever before him. Whenever, someone repents, he cannot hide from the sin within him. They are continually before their mental vision.

David asks God to purge him with hyssop and it will make him clean and to wash him so that he can be made whiter than snow. He is requesting joy and gladness from God that the bones that were broken may Rejoice. David knows the relationship that he has with God and cannot afford to lose it because of his sinful nature. He realized that God saw his heart and knows all about the murder and adultery that he has committed. One writer stated that you cannot hide from God; His eyes are watching you.
