Nothing is hidden

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." Hebrews 4:13



In a report issued Monday by CNN, it was announced that Russian track and field athletes and coaches could be banned from the 2016 Olympics and stripped of their medals for either using or encouraging the use of performance-enhancing drugs. While investigating reports of a state-sponsored doping program, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), uncovered a "deeply rooted culture of cheating at all levels" within Russian athletics. The report claims that more than 1,400 samples were "intentionally and maliciously" destroyed by a Moscow laboratory after they were instructed by the WADA to preserve them for investigation.

Despite all the efforts to keep their behavior hidden, it seems the truth will come out anyway and the lies will be exposed. Not that they were ever truly "hidden". Hebrews 4:13 tells us that, "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." And, while it's true that many things you and I do can go undiscovered by the world, God sees it all... everything.

He knows what we think and knows our "hidden" actions. Despite our best efforts at concealment, one day we will all "give account" for them and face the consequences. Quite a thought to ponder, isn't it? 

Heavenly Father, thank you for loving us when the things we do make us unlovable. Thank you for promising to forgive us of our sins if we would only confess and repent of them. Today, may we examine ourselves and turn away from any thing we feel the need to keep hidden. After all, nothing is hidden from you. Help us to live a life with no secrets that there would be no barrier between us. It's in your precious name we pray, Jesus. Amen.

Happy Running!!!!
