Naked Embarrassed And Exposed

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Colossians 3:12) Adam and Eve were embarrassed before God because they were naked. The best they could do was to cover themselves in fig leaves. Like Adam and Eve, we too were naked, embarrassed, and exposed before God. Putting on spiritual fig leaves couldn’t cover all of our flaws, scars, and sins. But God, in his great mercy, sacrificed his son to clothe us in his righteousness and character. The problem is our outfit isn’t super glued on. We must dress everyday in the spiritual attire God has designed for us. He has provided a stunning outfit, but we need to put it on. We must squeeze into the underwear of humility, to give us a lift (“Humble yourselves…and he will lift you up” James 4:10) so that the rest of our outfit has a good foundation. Let’s put on the slacks of compassion and a shirt of gentleness and remember to wear shoes of kindness so that we “keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25) taking God’s beauty to the world. Over all put on the jacket of patience to protect us from storms. This ten-week study is an opportunity to allow God to become your spiritual Fashion Designer. Adorned in God’s finest, you will be gorgeous. You will also be dressed perfectly to enhance your style and personality. Are you tired of being spiritually “Naked, Embarrassed, and Exposed? Then Put Something On.”
