Hidden in the Sand
Good morning
Scripture reading: Exodus 2:11-15
Worship song: Jesus Forgive Me
Meditation:
It is human instinct to protect their loved ones and defend them from harm and danger in every way possible. On most occasions, people are driven by a spontaneous inclination to act, especially intervening to defend someone from injustice. This was the case with Moses, whose impulsive action led him to act on instinct without considering the consequences of his decision. Moses's attempt to conceal his action reflects the human tendency to cover their wrongdoings and sinful deeds. However, we cannot hide from God, because there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be known (Luke 12:2).
David affirms God's omnipresent and omniscient
power in Psalm 139. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch over
good and evil (Proverbs 15:3). He that hides his sins shall not prosper, but
whoever chooses to confess and forsake sin will obtain mercy (Proverbs 28:13).
No action or deeds done in secret will remain hidden for long, so be sure your
sin will find you out. We are all given a chance to repent and make amends for
our wrongs. The time for confession and repentance before God is now. If you
only know the freedom and blessings that salvation brings, you will come to the
feast today and join with the saints who have triumphed over sin.
Let us pray:
Everlasting Father, merciful God, cleanse my heart from
secret faults, hidden iniquities, presumptuous sin, and inclination to act
based on impulsive instinct. Almighty God, keep me from transgression and guard
my heart against presumptuous sin. Lord God, let not sin, known or unknown,
have dominion over me. Father, eradicate any hidden sin that may linger in my
heart and mind; let it not germinate within me. Search, O God, my innermost
thoughts and purify my heart of any thought that hinders spiritual growth and
desire to live holy and righteous. Whatever I do, Lord, I pray my actions are
in sync with your commands, lest I be weighed in the balance and found wanting.
Lord, help me to make the right choices pleasing in thy sight through Jesus
Christ. Amen.
Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌💖🙏
Sometimes people in general does not come clean before God fearing He will condemned one for their deeds and actions. This not so, even though God sees and knows everything, His desire is that we tell Him what He already know, it is called, come clean, this is what He wants us to do. This is where He wants to meet us to be able to free us. Therefore, let us come clean so we can be clean. 🙏🙏🙏
