There seems to be an obsession about knowing the behind the scenes lives of the rich
and famous. Of more interest is revealing their secrets, many of which they
keep hidden from those closest to them. The tabloids and the paparazzi seem to
have taken center stage. They go to great lengths to expose and uncover the
details about celebrities and would-be celebrities. The truth is everyone has
parts of their life story that is kept hidden, tucked away, and out of sight
from the world. God, however, knows every part of every human’s life story from
cover to cover, like an open book.
When it comes to your
life, God does not need the paparazzi or the “Enquirer” to tell all. He does
not have to stand by to catch a glimpse of your latest appearance or
interaction with your spouse, child, neighbor, or the homeless person with the
“will work for food” sign on the corner. God is fully aware of all you do and
knows your heart, mind, and soul. He created you and is fully aware of your
brilliance and your short comings. Sure, there may be unconfessed sin and
transgressions that have not been acknowledged, but God still knows about every
detail. He knows that you, like every other person on the planet, are a sinner.
That is the reason He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to the world to die for
you, so that your sins may be forgiven. Is there something you’ve been trying
to keep from God? Perhaps there is a confession that you need to make to Him to
get things right between you. In preparation for the New Year, why not have a
heart to heart conversation with the Lord? Tell Him everything you have been
meaning to about the your real life “secrets”. Go ahead! Now is as good a time
as any. Forgiveness is just a confession away.
"My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and give him the praise. Tell me
what you have done; do not hide it from me." Joshua 7:19
