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. ~ Hebrews 4:13
We’re only deceiving ourselves to think that we can get away with our secret vices, and thus, we make it worse for ourselves. Why? Because when no one knows, no one can help. When no one knows, no one can point us in the right direction. When no one knows, no one can help fix our aim to get us back on target again.
You see, if two walk together, they can help each other. If two walk together, they encourage each other. If two walk together, they watch out for each other. If two walk together, they can keep each other accountable. But the one who walks alone is left to his or her own devices. We are to be our brother’s keeper. And believe me, we all need our brother’s keeper.
But instead, we hide, we lie, and we deceive to keep our secret sins hidden. We even condemn those who are doing publicly what we are doing privately, but there is no difference between the two.
We call them out and demand that they repent to our own deception. Like the idiom from the poem by Sir Walter Scott says, “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” Why? Because the God who judges does not slumber nor does He sleep, but He keeps an accurate account and record of all that is done and all that is said.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Bring All To The Light.
