NOTHING HIDDEN

ISAIAH 29:15 (CEV)
You are in for trouble,
if you try to hide your plans
from the LORD!
Or if you think what you do
in the dark can’t be seen.


EPHESIANS 5:13 (NTE)
Everything becomes visible when it’s exposed to the light...

SUMMARY SENTENCE
You can't hide anything from God; so why try?

PRAYER
Lord of light, from you nothing is hidden and nothing is kept secret. You know us inside and out, even understanding what we have yet to discover about ourselves. Lord, forgive us for trying to hide from you. Call us out of our darkness and draw us to the light of your grace. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
