No Place To Hide

How often do we do things in secret, thinking that we are getting away with something?  Do we live each day in such a way that we have a “front” for other people, but we live differently when we are alone?  It has been said that the best test of a man’s character is to see what he does when he is alone, for that reveals his true nature.  The prophet Isaiah addresses this very issue:

Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the LORD, who do their work in darkness and think, “Who sees us? Who will know?”  — Isaiah 29:15

Hiding from sin dates all the way back to Adam and Eve.  The fact is this – we cannot hide anything from God.  He sees all that we do, and He knows every thought that we think.  That can be a very scary thought, unless we understand that God is a loving Father, who wants the very best for His children.  With that knowledge in hand, we approach Him with a different viewpoint – one that seeks His help and His mercy.

    Asking questions are truly nice thing if you are not understanding something
    fully, however this piece of writing provides pleasant
    understanding even.
