Fall in the right direction 2/11/11

Genesis 3:1-8. Psalm 32. Mark 7:31-37. All of us fall in one direction or the other. We either fall into sin or at the feet of God begging for His help when tempted. The Genesis text records the first sin of Adam and Eve and the effects of that sin. The primary effect being a scared relationship with God. They fell in the wrong direction because they trusted themselves. The Psalm text shows the appropriate response to our sin, falling before God. This is falling in the right direction. The gospel text really brings it all home. Mark tells us about a deaf man who was healed by Jesus. The texts encourage us to do one thing which is fall in the right direction. Trusting God rather than self. Falling toward Him rather than away from Him. Fall in the right direction.
