"But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. Acocordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops." v. 2-3
This is so true. So many examples - even in my own life - where truth is always brought to light. Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, that guy that stole everyone' investment money, etc. should have heeded these words. Of course, the proclamation from the housetops is in God's own time. My friend's friend, was killed; this verse was quoted on his memorial facebook page today. My prayer for those parents is that the light on who did it will be timely.An everyday example is the stuff you say about a co-worker or friend; the whisper always gets back to the person being whispered about and usually in a less attractive version. This has torn apart churches, friendships.
"Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable that many sparrows." v. 7
I am really working toward being able to believe this, to feel this gift from God, everyday. Not having experienced uncondtional love from either parent, it is tough to actually believe that Jesus knows and loves me like this. I am reading a book right now, where she is challenging me to write down 1000 blessings in my life; a 1000 things I love; a 1000 gifts of love from God. I tell you, it really makes you look at the world differently and you sure see God's wonder in your everyday life. "Stop and smell the roses."
"...why do you not analyze this present time?" v. 56 Take the challenge!
