Everything
Even All We Think Is Hidden From the Light
Is Known by God
And Will Be Known By All!
Isaiah 29:15
Ha! You who hide a plan too deep for the Lord, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, ‘Who sees us? Who knows us?’ You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay?
Ephesians 5:13
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness … Everything exposed by the light becomes visible
Words of Grace For Today
The evil that fills the world comes from the hearts of humans.
As the heart chooses to turn from God, so the heart thinks it can hide such a choice from God, which multiples the sins and the evil that is wrought.
Always, sinful humans think they can hide from God, even though God has made them. They can hide nothing from God. No one can.
The light of Christ will shine always into every dark corner that we think we can hide in.
God sees everything that is us, that is a part of our lives: everything we think, everything we say and write, and everything we do.
This is the promise that undoes all evil and sets us free, for God knows us completely, good and evil that we are. Yet God loves us, all of us, and rescues us from sin, forgives us, and renews life in us.
