Watching police shows on television just reminds me that you cannot outrun the law. For every one person that may get away for a few days there are millions that don't. And, even if you manage to escape capture temporarily, eventually, they always seem to get the perpetrator.
I think we try to convince ourselves that we are hiding from GOD too. We think that if we turn off the lights or if we go to another town or if we close the doors that GOD will not see what we are doing, that He will never catch us. If we really think that, we are truly fooling ourselves.
Today's word is from Luke 8:17, NIV, which reads, "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open."
While we may think we are getting away with something, that we are concealing something, that we are hiding something, the only thing we are hiding is reality. GOD is everywhere! You may think you are getting away with something, that it is hidden from your loved ones, that it is hidden from your friends, that it is hidden from the public, but it is not hidden from GOD, and, eventually, it will become known and brought out into the open.
I pray daily that GOD forgives me of the things that I may have hidden so deeply in the recesses of my memory that I may have temporarily forgotten them. If I think for one minute that I have hidden it and gotten away with it, I am truly just fooling myself. You can rest assured that you may run but you definitely cannot hide.
GOD loves me, even with all my faults and failures. And, there's no reason to run and hide. Confess it, ask forgiveness, and live free!
Be Blessed,
