Friends,
How much energy have you expended in the fight to keep your secrets, secret? How hard do you try to obscure the simple truth of less-than-holy motivations and less-than-noble intent? We do these things even with the plain truth spoken to us by our Sovereign Lord:
Luke 12:3
Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops. [NKJV]
There is no escaping the facts, brothers and sisters. They are already to known to eternity, and in due time will be brought forth for all to see and understand. It is not a threat meant to intimidate us into proper behavior, nor is it an appeal to our vanity and pride.
This is simply the truth.
And it is a real reminder to pursue consistent and persistent holiness in every aspect of our lives. It is encouragement to die to ourselves daily, and to live for Christ in every moment, every thought, every action and every word. So that, when our words and deeds and thoughts are proclaimed from the rooftops, the only thing that will be heard is that which glorifies Jesus!
Be encouraged, Jose
