(Luke 8:17 NIV) “For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.”
(Hebrews 4:13 NIV) “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”
(1 Corinthians 4:5 NIV) “Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.”
(1 Timothy 4:16 NIV) “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
Watch your life! God is certainly watching it. There are no secrets when it comes to God. What we conceal in our hearts is never invisible to our omnipresent and omniscient Lord. Nothing we do can be hidden from God. His eyes see even the sparrow that falls. This is how we know that His mercy is great… He loves us in spite of what He observes. Eventually, the truth will always come out. The contents of our hearts always seep out into the way we live. And in the unlikely possibility that you carry any secrets to the grave, they will be revealed by God’s radiant light in the judgment to come. Watch your life. God gave it to you. Take care of this precious gift of God. You are its steward. Walk the narrow road and persevere in giving Christ the glory as you march toward eternity. This is our calling. Watch your life! -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
