Nothing is hidden
The Fifth Sunday of Easter
God sees my ways
and counts every step I take. ~ Job 31:4 (NCV)
Nothing is hidden from God! He sees through everything, and we will have to tell him the truth. ~ Hebrews 4:13 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Nothing is hidden from God.
PRAYER:
God, you know it all. I find a certain relief in this reminder. It's not that I think I can hide something from you. It's more that I don't even think about your personal awareness of my life. Help me to see how much you love me and are involved in the everyday affairs of my life. I'm going to live in an ongoing conversation with you. Amen.
