Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? ~Isaiah 29:15
God is able to see everything you do. You may be able to fool many human beings but you’re never able to fool God. Everything you do behind closed doors is not out of the view of God. Why not just be real with yourself and God and truly live for Him the way you profess to live for Him? You can compose messages on Facebook and Twitter each day about your love for God and still not fool God about your love for Him. In all that you do God must get the glory. If you really love God you will be willing to surrender the things in your life that are not like Him. If you really love God you will be willing to do only the things pleasing to Him.
How deep is your love for God really?
Who are you really?
It’s time for you to remove the metaphorical sheets, curtains, blinds, and shades you employ to mask the things in your life that are not like God and replace them with a true commitment to righteousness. You can witness to people and invite them to your church every Sunday, but was what you were doing Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night in your bed, on the Internet, at the bar, at the club, in your car, on the phone, and etc. pleasing to Him?
What if the metaphorical sheets, curtains, blinds, and shades you use to hide the things that are not like God were removed from your life? What would people learn about you that would change how you’re perceived?
If walls could talk, what would they reveal about you? If your text messages were able to be viewed by the public, what would they communicate about you? If your email accounts were able to be read by the public, what would they communicate about you? If your closed doors were open at times when you’re covering up what you want to hide, what would people learn about you that would alter their views of your public image?
Get real with yourself so that you can get real with God. It’s time to repent now, for God is soon to return and people must be ready for His evaluation of their lives.
Far too often people become too angry about the true criticism they receive from others, but people need to learn to appreciate true criticism. True criticism can lead you closer to being the person you need to be to please God. Words that may seem harsh from people you perceive to be “hating on you,” “envious of you,” and/or “jealous of you” can be the very words you need to seriously wrestle with to change your life for the better.
At the end of the day, we need to a help to one another. Being a help to one another does not mean supporting one’s ways, words, and actions that are not pleasing to God. We have a clear understanding of what’s pleasing to God by reading the bible daily. You can ameliorate your understanding of righteousness by reading the bible daily. Study the Word of God to enjoy the fullness of His power and spirit.
God wants to be first in your life. Will you let Him?
Deuces,
Tony
