"Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God" Psalms 42:11.
From the beginning of time God has covered our shame. Adam and Eve hid from God cause they knew they had messed up. God called out to them and he did not say,"Look at what you two have done," no, He asked, "Why are you two hiding"? God covered their shame. God wants us to hide in Him from the hurts of life, he does not want us to run away and hide from Him. Then there is Noah, God told him to build an Ark and even though it had never rained Noah obeyed God. The people of the world did not believe the purpose of God's covering of the Ark from what was going to take place. The people waited until they could see the raging waters and it was to late by then. Again God was trying to cover man's shame. Abraham was told he would bear a son at his old age, but when his wife Sari heard this she could not hear the word "Wait and see," she only saw her condition of her womb and question it to be to old for her to conceive. So, Sari went ahead of the Lord and gave her hand maiden instead to take her place. A miracle did occur as God had promised ,by then a new different set of problems a rose and even so God covered Abraham with keeping His promise He made.
Joseph brothers were jealous of their brother and sold him into slavery, many years went by the brothers and father believed Joesph was dead. Until a great famine occurred in the land and Joseph was used of God through his problems in Egypt to gain favor from the King, and A whole nation! was saved.
These stories happen to people like you and me, they felt the same shame, disappointment, heartache, loneliness,but God turn each situation around for good.
God is the same God then, as He is today, and the same God for tomorrow, God has covered our (SIN), Shame by sending His only Son Jesus who's blood covers our every need here and for eternity. Do not hide from God, do not get ahead of God, believe His promise to never leave nor forsake you, Do not take matters into your own hands. Instead believe and put your hope and trust in the nailed scared hands of the only one who covers you through it all by His unconditional love.
