Father, I have not been spot-on focus getting things done today but I am grateful that I have actually accomplished so much! Thank You for Your inspiration and support in the work you have for me to do.

Luke 12:2-3 (<<click to read the passage)

At one time or another, we have all played the simple game of peek-a-boo. We may (years ago for many of us) have been on the receiving end as infants or we may have been on the giving end with all kinds of children, of both family and friends. It can provide entertainment no matter how often we play or wherever we play.

In life, we may see ourselves playing peek-a-boo, hiding so that no one sees what we do, or see, or think. We may get away with things in this life. No one may ever be the wiser. But…we cannot hide from God. We make think its all a game and say, “Peek-a-boo!” But God is not fooled and exclaims, “I see you!”

I spoke of King David and Peter yesterday and surely, they are not alone in their sin. We are all guilty.

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Romans 3:23 (NLT)

God sees it all. Nothing is hidden from His watchful eyes. We can deny God exists, but that cannot stop His existence. Whether we believe it or not, we will be judged. Every single person that has ever existed on this planet will stand before our Creator. And what we have done will be made known.

The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed…

…all that is secret will be made known to all.

Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light

…what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the
…housetops for all to hear! Luke 12:2-3 (NLT)

The Pharisees and teachers of the Law played the game…and Jesus called them out on it. They were ticked – putting it mildly! No one wants what they are hiding to be known, but Jesus exposed them all for who they were.

The difference between the religious leaders of Jesus’ day, and David and Peter? Once the truth was out, David and Peter sought forgiveness from God. In true repentance, they confessed their wrongdoings. And in doing so, they were liberated from the sin that held them fast. Sin could no longer hold them in its grasp. They were free!

Lord Jesus, time will tell what we have done. Our only hope is You. The only way that closet of skeletons will not see the light of Judgement Day is if we confess them all to You and watch as You pitch them into the depths of the sea, never to be mentioned again.

He shall again have compassion on us;
He will subdue and tread underfoot our wickedness [destroying sin’s power].
Yes, You will cast all our sin
Into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:19 (AMP)

Lord Jesus, may it be so. Amen.
