But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known

Accountability

 

             Is it our destiny to do whatever we please?  Today there is a push for politicians, educators, and others to be accountable. We as Christians are to be accountable to our destiny to be like our Creator. We are destined to be like Him, so we should be accountable to the Word to behave as He does. We walk in the light of His Word, and that Word sheds light on our actions. Be faithful to your destiny! God will hold us accountable for all our actions.

 

Can’t Hide Things:

 

            Nothing hidden:

 

Luke 12:2-3

2 “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

3 “Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.

 

            Today many politicians are confessing their prior “indiscretions”. But are these revelations because their conscience is “pricking” them or because it’s better that you say it than the news media? We have seen too many times when politicians, entertainers, or sports figures tried to hide wrong doings that eventually were revealed to the public. Then they go into “rehab” and come out squeaky clean … right!

            No one can hide their sins in the dark. God will reveal them if you don’t repent. Just when you think you got away with it, someone will discover and proclaim the truth. Can anyone say lawsuit coming?

            We need to especially be careful when we say … “did you hear about what happened to so-and-so? You know we need to pray for him/her.” Too many times this is a “Christian” cover up. It’s really gossiping. Do you want others to gossip about you … of course not? Then don’t gossip about them.

           

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are a light to My people. Therefore, I will shine My light on you. You must therefore be sure to be pure before Me; for I will shine My light on you, and all your imperfections will be revealed to the world. But fear not … for I will bring you into perfection as you wait on Me; as you allow Me to work My work in you. You will bring others unto Me; for when they see your perfection in Me, they will also want to come unto perfection; and they will seek Me diligently because of your light. You are to walk in My light and thus draw all men unto Me.”

 

            76. I will only do and proclaim what is worthy of a child of God and that I would not mind being shouted from the housetops.
