Christian Devotional – April 22, 2013

VERSE:

Ezekiel 8:12–He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord does not see us; the Lord has forsaken the land.'”

TRUTH:

God showed Ezekiel a vision and in it, He told Ezekiel all about the evil practices the people of Israel were doing in secret where they thought God wouldn’t see. God revealed to Ezekiel that nothing is done in secret. God sees everything and knows everything. We cannot get away with sin through secrecy. Are we trying to hide actions from God? He sees and knows what we are doing and calls us to repent and follow Him.

RESPONSE:

Father, You have not forsaken us. You see me and know what I do, even when no one else is around. You love me and You desire that I follow You even when no one is looking. I will not think I can hide my actions from You but will seek to obey You in every circumstance of my life.
