I love my kids, and like any other parents with kids around...there is never a dull moment. What is fascinating to me is that children will exhibit behavior that is so glaringly obvious, we, as adults, will laugh and file away the occurrence for later memory recall. Yet, adults will spiritually exhibit the same behavior, and in this case it is not a laughing matter. For example, you can see below a picture of my office wall...if you look closely at the bottom of the picture you might see a smudge below the electrical outlet.
...getting a closer look at the smudge.
...closer...Oh, no!!
As you can see, the child up there in the first picture on the right, has been in my office marking the wall with a black permanent marker she knows she is not to have. So, given the fact that she has committed a "sin" by getting the marker, AND marking on the wall...she has tried to "cover" it up...WITH A PIECE OF SEE THROUGH SCOTCH TAPE. It is glaringly obvious!
Okay, how many times do we, who are more mature, try to hide, manage, cover, obscure, etc., our sin by putting "scotch tape" on it? If you are trying to take care of your shortcomings and failures by bypassing God, you are making God chuckle...cause that "ain't" "gonna" get the job done.
Isa 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet , they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
KJV
