1 Timothy 5:24–25 (ESV) — 24 The sins of some people are conspicuous, going
before them to judgment, but the sins of others appear later. 25 So also good works are conspicuous, and even those that are not cannot
remain hidden.
NOTE: I could also
entitle these two verses, "nothing remains hidden." Good works and
evil works will be exposed. The one we try to hide and the other we want people
to know. But really, we should put off our sins (evil works) and put on (good works).
And we should do good works not to be seen. We serve God not people and he will
exalt us at the right time. We need to be humble and we need to be a servant to
all. We really don't win when we show up another with our accomplishments. We lose. This is an area of weakness for me,
but I do see God changing me and helping me to be quiet and listen to others,
and not have to share about myself or my opinion.
PRAYER: Father, help
me to grow in this grace of forgotten-ness. I don't need to be seen or
acknowledged. I just need to serve you. Forgive me for my failures and my
weaknesses. Give me the grace and strength to do the right thing.
