- 2 Chronicles 26:1-28:27
- Psalm 94:8-14
- Proverbs 19:21-23
- Acts 23:12-35
Who are we to think we can hide a thing from God Almighty? That seems to be the point of the Psalm. What? Do we think that God doesn't see what we do in secret? He created the gift of vision! Of course He sees everything. Do we think that God does not hear our words uttered in private? If so, we would be oh so very wrong. Our thoughts? Yep. He understands them loud and clear.
Now, and be perfectly clear on this... it should NOT be perceived as a treat to us the God knows us so intimately. Although our gut tends to race to that "uh oh" feeling, it should actually be rejoicing in the fact that God knows are hearts, words, and deeds done in secret. That is a good thing. At least it is if we are doing our very best to conform to the image of Christ! We should be doing good things for people in secret and not for show. We should be uttering a quite prayer for ourselves and others, without ceasing. We should have pure thoughts, motives and intentions behind our actions and words.
And if we do, then our hearts can leap for joy, knowing our God knows. Our God knows.
