WE CAN’T HIDE FROM GOD

"If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.  Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”

Psalm 139:11, 12 KJV

There is no place that we can go without God seeing us.  There is also nothing we do that God doesn’t see.  We can’t hide from God.  Someone said “What I do in my own home behind closed doors is nobody’s business but mine”.  That is a lie straight from the pits of hell.  Everything we do is God’s business.

God sees when someone hits their spouse or their children.  He also hears when someone says cruel and hateful words to people and it hurts God and breaks His heart.  No, we can’t hide from God.  No matter what we say or what we do God sees us and He hears us.  Are we hurting Him by what we do and say?

We read in the Bible.  “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).  Are the works we are doing making God happy or are they hurting Him and breaking His heart?  We are either making Him happy or we are making Him sad.

Heavenly Father, may we always do things and say words that make You happy instead of hurting You and making You sad.  Please forgive us for the times we hurt You.  We’re sorry we hurt You.  Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and for allowing me to serve Your Son.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
