We are covered and blessed! We have all sinned and have the natural tendency to cover up our transgressions. It originated from the parents of all human beings — Adam and Eve. Their disobedience opened their eyes and they realized they were naked (Gen. 3:7). They tried to resolve this by covering themselves with fig leaves. It was innovative, but not acceptable to God. The Lord made them garments from the skin of animals, and this time, they were indeed covered! Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin (Heb. 9:22). Stop covering your “nakedness” with good works. They are just like filthy rags before the Lord (Is. 64:6). Only the blood of Jesus can cover us. It’s a free gift from God! Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. Forgive me and cover all of my sins. Amen.

The call to evangelize and make disciples is a great task. It cannot be accomplished by one man alone, therefore, we must equip workers. Through Haggai, I was encouraged that there are people like me all around the world who seek to make Him known.
