Nothing is Hidden from God

 For the Audio Version, click here - Nothing is Hidden From God
(Read 2 Kings 6: 8- 12)

“None of us, my lord the king,” said one of his officers, “but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.” 2 Kings 6:12

The King of Syria was in a big dilemma. Every secret plan he made with his officers against the King of Israel was divulged to him. He therefore speculated that there was a traitor in his team. That’s when one of the officers told the King of Syria about Elisha. God was revealing to Elisha all the plans of the King of Syria and he in turn was forewarning the King of Israel.

Isn’t it an incredible thought that the Lord knows everything about every one of us? Psalm 139 says the Lord actually perceives our thoughts, words and all our ways. In a positive sense it fills us with a sense of security that the eyes of the Lord are watching us, He cares for us and is mindful of all that we go through. On the other hand, it also reminds us that every thought, word and deed that is not glorifying the Lord and demeans others is also being recorded by the Lord. 

Jesus’ exhortation to his disciples in Luke 12:2-3 is a good admonition for us too. “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.”

Devotion # 8 No Finger-pointing Please For the Audio Version click here:  No Finger-pointing Please John 8:7 , “So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”(NKJV) Read John 8: 1-11 for the entire account. Jesus was at the temple, early in the morning, teaching people who had come eagerly to hear His words. The Scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman who was caught in the very act of adultery.   Their only aim was to trap Jesus and to check whether He would keep the Old Testament law as given by Moses (Leviticus 20:10), which actually commanded that both the man and the woman be put to death, but for some reason only the woman was brought to Jesus. They thought they were putting Jesus in a spot, as they awaited His verdict.   Strangely, Jesus spoke nothing, but simply bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.   No one knows for sure what He wrote, but

Devotion # 3 The One Who Perceives But Still Pardons Click here for the Audio Version:  The One Who Perceives But Still Pardons The woman of Samaria said, “Come see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” John 4:29 (NKJV) Read John 4: 4-42 for the entire account. The woman of Samaria had no clue whom she would encounter on that eventful afternoon, as she came to draw water from Jacob’s well.   What seemed to be a casual request from Jesus for a drink of water, developed into a very deep dialogue where the Samaritan woman realized who Jesus was, and that He also knew all about her. Initially she must have been shocked when Jesus revealed that He was aware of the 5 husbands she had earlier, and also about the man she was living with, who was not her husband. There must have been something about the way Jesus spoke to her, that caused her not to be embarrassed, scared and withdrawn, but to feel overjoyed at the thought that she h

Devotion # 5 When We Have No One For the Audio Version Click Here:  When We Have No One "The sick man answered, 'Sir, I don't have anyone here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first.'" John 5:7 (NKJV) The pool near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, called Bethesda was a unique place. An angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred the water and whoever stepped in first was healed of whatever infirmity they had. The Bible records that a very large multitude of sick and disabled people were all awaiting their turn. It was here that Jesus met this man who was bed-ridden with an infirmity for 38 long years. Jesus knew everything about the man and his predicament, and asked him a very important question, “Do you want to get well?” His reply was amazing. Not knowing who it was who was asking this question, he replied, “Sir, I have no man…” John 5:7 (KJV). Ther
