Are you wearing makeshift clothing?

This is not another blog about style... Its actually about how you are running away from the best possible thing in your life. God.

makeshift = temporary and usually inferior substitute

Did you notice the clothes Adam and Eve made after their major blunder in Genesis? Genesis says their attempt at fashion design was nothing more than "makeshift clothes". This isn't about making our own clothes or saving the environment (though those are nice ideas)... Its about how we create our own ways to solve problems without asking God for help. The end result of our substitutes cannot last and will not satisfy our needs.

Your temptation Your makeshift clothes

There are overwhelming circumstances ..... You turn to a drink

Temptations seem to difficult to control ..... You cut yourself

Everyone else seems to be doing it ..... You become sexually active

You want to be popular ..... You try to become IT

You want his attention ..... You do whatever's necessary to get it

(Genesis 3:21) The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

Skin... skin... first if you didn't get the same disgusting image I got, I'd be surprised. Us, without skin. He didn't just pursue them, he clothed them! He replaced their makeshift clothing... so basically, God was the first designer on earth :)

Regardless of imperfections, God wants to capture you and clothe you in his finest. 

SO STOP RUNNING AWAY!

God will not run. He will not turn his back on you.

The question isn't "Is God pursuing you?"... The question is " Will you let God capture you?"
