“Now while he was
in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was
performing and believed in his name.
But Jesus would
not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.
He did not need
any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.”
John 2:23-25
Jesus knew then
and Jesus knows now – the hearts of all men.
If those words of
truth do nothing else let them teach you the importance of honesty with God.
You can lie to God
but when you do the only one being deceived is you.
He is never deceived
by our words or our actions, only we can be.
You are the sheep
of His pasture so don’t try to pull the wool over His eyes!
He knows what’s in
your heart.
He knows what’s in
my heart.
Sometimes, even in
prayer, we forget that (or we ignore it) and try to
present something
different than what we know to be true.
Like the child
caught with his hand in the cookie jar, we make up some convoluted story
instead of ‘fessing up!
We can be brutally
honest with God.
It will not shock
Him!
He loves us and
knows us better than we know ourselves.
So in your
conversation with God today, don’t try to hide from Him like Adam did.
It didn’t work
then and it won’t work now.
It is good to be
honest with God!
