I remember during the first few months of our marriage we adopted a stray cat we found wandering around the parking lot of our church. We called him Moses because he seemed to be a "stranger wandering in the wilderness". One weekend we were travelling somewhere and we stayed overnight with Moses at a motel. Somehow, during the night, Moses had been active and played with the cords that controlled the drapes across the picture window right next to our bed. Somehow he opened them completely. We awoke to a bright sunshiny morning and I realized that the whole world could see us in bed through the window! Of course, there are no drapes between us and the Lord. He truly sees all, including the things happening in our heads that no one else can see. At first that's kind of a scary thought, but really it provides great freedom. It's a good thing to realize that there is absolutely no point in lying, cheating, stealing or any of the other things we know we shouldn't do because He sees it all and He isn't fooled. Really life is much easier to live when we realize that the drapes are wide open and the Lord is looking in. Why waste time trying to fool anyone!
Job 34:21 "His eyes are on the ways of men;
he sees their every step.
he sees their every step.
22 There is no dark place, no deep shadow,
where evildoers can hide.
blessings,
