VERSE:
Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the
LORD, who do their work in darkness and think, "Who sees us? Who
will know?"
-- Isaiah 29:15

THOUGHT:
Aren't we so very silly sometimes! We try to hide what we've
done and what we're planning from the Lord. Of course we're only
fooling ourselves. At first glance, God's knowing our plans and
seeing our actions is threatening. But after a little time to think
it through, isn't it nice that God does see everything, including
our motives and thoughts? This insures justice will be done and our
mess-ups will be evaluated in terms of our intentions, not just our
failures! On top of that, it also means that those who plot to do
us harm will have to answer to God, and we don't have to worry
about "settling the score" or "getting even."
PRAYER:
Forgive me, Father, when I've tried to hide my plans and
thoughts from you. Create in me a new and clean heart so that I am
unafraid of your knowing anything going on in my heart. By the
power of your Spirit, stir my spirit to desire your character and
long for your presence in my life. I want to live dedicated to your
glory and serving your Kingdom. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
