Verse of the Day 1/31

Hebrews 4:13 (ESV)  And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.  

I'm sure that you can remember at some point in your life that you went to a doctor where he asked you to stick out your tongue and say "ah" at which point he would take out his tongue depressor and look down your throat.  You might say that you are feeling fine but your throat was naked and exposed to his eye and to his diagnosis.  You might have said that you were fine but what he saw revealed a different story.

 

So our lives are before God, our creator.  We may say that we are fine and on the outside we may be able to fool the best of the them.  But God knows the condition of our hearts, our true selves.  There is no fooling him.

 

What is the condition of your heart this morning?  When we admit to the condition a doctor can prescribe what we need.  When we admit our condition before God, He, and only He can grant us what we need, forgiveness.  Receiving that forgiveness can lighten our hearts and put the bounce back in our steps, and lead us into a better day.

 

Blessings,
Mike

Hebrews 4:11-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

 ¹¹ Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. ¹² For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ¹³ And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
