God Sees All Things Here on Earth

Verses:  Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

My thoughts about the verses:

Think back to the time you were a child.  Your guardian seemed to know everything that you did.  They knew things that you were hiding from them.  You couldn’t figure out how they knew your secrets.  You made sure that those that you were with wouldn’t tell.  You made sure that you kept it as quiet as possible.  Yet somehow they knew.

 Once I got older I like so many realized that they knew it because the way we acted.  When you are keeping a secret from someone you act differently.  You are very careful with what you say.  Often times we cover up our secrets with lies.  You keep lying to cover up what you don’t want others to know.  Until eventually you forget what you told.  They are able to tell you’re lying and the only way to gain their trust again is to tell the truth.

God knows our secrets.  God doesn’t have to guess what we are doing.  God see what we do on Earth.  God knows what is in our hearts.  God is present in our day to day life.  We may think we can get by with things.  Yet, the truth is you cannot keep things away from God.

Knowing that God sees, hears and knows our inner thoughts what do we do?  We have to remember that we have to watch what we do.  We have to remember that we cannot hide anything from God.  We need to make sure that we must not do anything that we do not want God to know.  My mom used to tell me that if I didn’t want God to know something that I did I shouldn’t do it.  We need to keep that in mind. 

We have to remember that we cannot lie to God.  We can’t even hide our thoughts.  We have to learn to control what we say, think and do.  We have to learn to be a wise person.  If we do not want God to know then just don’t do it.  Live your life knowing that God knows all things.  You will soon find that your life has changed.  Every time you go to do something you will remember that the presence of God is right there in our life. 

We have to stay focused and not let our actions come between us and God.  A wise man will know what to do to keep on the straight and narrow.  On the other hand a foolish man will let their actions speak before they think if what their saying, doing or thinking builds or breaks down our relationship with God.

Prayer:

We praise you God for the love you share with us.  We thank you God for walking with us and guiding us.  Thank you for loving us even when we do not deserve it.  Help us remember that you know all that we do.  Help us live with that knowledge everyday of our life.  Help us be like the wise man who watches what we do.  In the name of the Holy One we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Are you living like the foolish man or the wise man?  Have you accepted God?  Do you understand that God knows all you do?   Is there something that you are doing that you do not want God to Know?  Do you need to give it up what we are trying to hide from God?
