Hidden Things, Uncovered!

It's Friday morning; that means...uh, that I at least have some sort of idea what day it is. Meanwhile, they lurk in small towns among us and sometimes one comes out of the deep, dark closet to peek at the light of day. Subversive elements of the worst sort, that's right, weather data reporters. One came out yesterday morning, and I had never suspected that he was one of them. One just never knows the dark side of a little town until it lays exposed. Years ago, a man spoke an interesting prophecy. "Therefore, do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known." (Matt 10:26)

It is likely that Jesus was not referring to weather data reporters specifically, but one never knows. We do seem to live in an age where secrets cannot be kept. From your online identity to government documents, all is unsafe on the information superhighway. E-mails reveal underhanded stunts at various government agencies; secrets of celebrities spread far and wide across social media, and in general the prophecy of our Lord comes true in so many ways each day. At the same time, let us not be part of the wave of revealing.

Good thoughts and good deeds revealed only bring glory to God. We must have no secret sin life to be exposed. How do we do that? We need Jesus and His godly power, for none of us can have victory over the desire to sin without our Lord.

God's love to you on this most excellent Friday,
Bucky
