Isaiah 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
That’s the wisdom of fools, my Friends! ‘Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin.’ (Is.30:1) Yes people, it’s certainly foolish to try and hide our doings from the Lord. As Bruh David so rightly declared: ‘Understand ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know? The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.’ (Ps.94:8-11) It’s not rocket science Friends, just simple logic: If the Lord created us, set us in our ways, and rules us from on high, then obviously, He will hear, see and read our hearts and minds and know all that we do, whether in darkness or light. Some of us though still try to hide and do wrong stuff, believing that neither God or our neighbours will find out. But that mindset is totally wrong Friends. You might be able to fool your self, but never God. The neighbours aren’t always fooled either, for as the ole people were wont to say, ‘everything done in darkness, comes to light sooner or later.’ And that’s the gospel truth people. And we know it too, for all of us, at some stage in life, have done things we don’t want others to know about, but eventually, it might be years later, they still become public knowledge. And Friends, the sad part is that the longer we hide certain things, the worse they appear when daylight finally strike them, and the more our reputations, integrity and character suffer. Let’s not fool ourselves people, let’s not do works in the dark, then claim, ‘who seeth us? and who knoweth us?’ Especially in these days of the all pervasive paparazzi and the media circus, whose slimy tentacles reach right down into the very core of our lives. ‘They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.’ (Ps.94:6-7) Not so at all people; He sees all and regards all. As He said to Ezekiel, ‘Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth.’ (Eze.8:12) But listen up Friends, even if the Lord forsakes the earth, and He’s promised not to forsake those who do His will, He will still see our deeds, even the evil ones, done in darkness, and judge us accordingly. So please, let’s try to always do deeds that favour the light of day nuh. Much LOVE!…you can run…but not hide…can do in darkness…but not cover up…from the Lord…
