Is. 29:15 Destruction is
certain for those who try to hide their plans from the LORD, who try to keep
him in the dark concerning what they do!
“The LORD can’t see us,” you say
to yourselves. “He doesn’t know what is
going on!”
Go ahead and try it. Try
and hide what you are doing or plan to do from the Lord. It cannot be done. The Lord somehow knows all about every detail
of our living. He knows what we are
doing and even why we do it. He knows
what is on our minds. It is impossible
to hide anything from the Lord.
If you are doing things you know you shouldn’t be doing and think
that you are getting away with it, think again.
The only thing you are accomplishing by not being upfront about your
activities before the Lord is certain destruction. When you do evil you are not harming anyone
but yourself. Trying to hide or cover-up
evil destroys the soul.
As much as you might want to believe that God is in the dark and
does not know what you are doing with your life, it simply is not so. God is light and His light penetrates the
darkest soul. He knows all there is to
know about you and there is nowhere to hide from His gaze. He knows and holds you responsible for what
you do and accountable for it.
In order to protect yourself from self-destruction, live openly
before the Lord. Be honest about what
you are doing. Tell the Lord what you
are doing. It benefits you, not the
Lord. He knows what you are doing. Your activities affect your heart, not
His. Honesty is the only policy that
works with the Lord. Confess any sin or
sinful thoughts you may have. Seek the
Lord’s forgiveness. And, with His help,
strive to change your behavior so that you don’t get yourself in a similar mess
down the road.
Develop a plan to stay out of sin’s path and work the plan. If you don’t work to help yourself you will
lose the battle for your soul. The Lord
rewards those who are faithful to Him so work hard at keeping your soul healthy
and holy before Him. You can do it. The question is, “Will you do it?”
