If man hides himself to commit certain sins, it is to protect his notoriety in his community and deceive those who respect him.
Indeed, it is in vain that we try to deceive men because they end up revealing or discovering us although they do not always dare to tell it to us.
In addition, although we hide ourselves, our God Himself sees us.
He says:
« I am the Lord who search the heart, and prove the reins: who give to every one according to his way, and according to the fruit of his devices. » (Jeremiah 17:10)
And He adds:
« These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face. »(Psalms 50:21)
Instead of trying to appear honest in front of people while we are bad and hypocrites, we should rather try to be sincerely honest in the eyes of God.
PRAYER :
Lord our God, help us to be honest in your eyes and in the eyes of men.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
Apostle Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA
