--NOTHING HIDDEN~~

IN 2015 an international research company stated that there were 245 million surveillance cameras installed worldwide, and the number was growing by 15 percent every year. In addition, multiplied millions of people with smartphones capture daily images raging from birthday parties to bank robberies. Whether we applaud the increased security or denounce the diminished privacy, we live in a global, cameras-everywhere society.

The New Testament book of Hebrews says that in our relationship with God, we experience a far greater level of exposure and accountability than anything surveillance cameras may see. His Word, like a sharp, two edged sword, penetrates to the deepest level of our being where it "judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 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" (HEB 4:12-13).

Because Jesus our Savior experienced our weaknesses and temptations but did not sin, we can "approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" (VV.15-16). We don't need to fear Him but can be assured we'll find grace when we come to Him.
Jesus is always ready to receive a person into His kingdom when we acknowledge we are a sinner in need of a Savior, we confess our sins, and ask Jesus to forgive us, giving us eternal life with Him and all those believers who go on to Heaven when we depart this earth. ~~

--NO PART OF OUR LIVES IS HIDDEN FROM GOD'S GRACE AND POWER.
