Hebrews 4:13 (NKJV) 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Every day we choose whether to give in to temptation or not.
Sometimes the choice we make is one that everybody will see.
Other times, there are choices we make that nobody else ever knows anything about; Secret choices.
Secret sin is the most dangerous sin. Because no one sees it, we seem to have no accountability. We don’t have to answer to anyone about it. Or so it seems.
God is invisible to our natural eyes. We don’t see Him. And this can sometimes make it seem easy to do something that we know we shouldn’t do and get away with it. But in reality, God sees everything we do and knows our very thoughts.
Jeremiah 17:10 (NKJV) 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
So when we do make poor choices and walk into sin, God knows it, even if we do it hidden from the view of everyone else.
So, those paperclips we took home from work? He sees them. The grapes we ate while walking through the store, before paying for them? He saw that. The times we lusted after another person? God knows all about it. And the things we look at on the internet when nobody else is around? Uh huh, He sees that too.
But it’s never too late to make things right!
We need to confess these things to Him and come clean. We need to tell Him if we’re struggling with something. We need to ask for help and get free of these habits, before they eventually destroy us.
Proverbs 28:13 (NKJV) 13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
Getting before God and laying it all down might not seem enjoyable. But once we do it, we will feel free and light! The burden and weight of the guilt will be gone and we can work on letting God clean us up and fixing the stuff that caused us to stumble in the first place.
Don’t wait. Get before Him and do this today. The longer we wait, the worse the sin will get.
Go ahead. He’s waiting.
