Luke
12:1-3 (ESV) In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered
together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples
first, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2
Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not
be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have
said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in
private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
NOTE: We think we
can hide. We think our sin will not find us out. We know what is right, but we
don't want to face the truth some times. I think the Pharisees convinced
themselves that things that were wrong were right for them. But God knows our
hearts and sees our actions. He is not fooled by anything, even if we do manage
to fool ourselves. The verses that follow remind us to fear God, not men. Lord,
we need your mercy. We are frail and weak. We give in to the flesh and
emotions. We react instead of think. We think like the world instead of using
your wisdom. Forgive us and have mercy on us. We depend upon you. We are more
valuable than sparrows and is some ways, more delicate as well. Guide us in
truth. Amen.
