My Worship Time                                          Focus:  The all-knowing God

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  Hebrews 4:13

 

            1.  Message of the verse:  “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”  (NKJV)  “Nothing in all creation can hide from Him.  Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes.  This is the God to whom we must explain all that we have done.  (NLT)

            Not only is the Word of God living and active, but God Himself, who has written this wonderful Book for us is all knowing and all-powerful.  God knows everything as this verse says and nothing escapes from His knowledge, no one can hide from God as evidenced by Jonah found out.  We are all as the text says, “naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”  Believers will give an account of their lives and how we have used the gifts and abilities that God has given to us.  No-believers will give an account on why they refused the grace that God offered to them and will thus pay for their sins because they chose not to accept the payment for their sins that Jesus Christ paid for on the cross.

 

 

            2.  Spiritual meaning for my life today:  To think about giving an account of my life to God is very sobering to me.  I know that there were times in the past when I would not think about this in the right way and kind of pass over this because I knew that Jesus has paid for my sins and therefore God will not speak to me about any sins in my life.  However as I think about the rest that I am to obey God by entering into it, and as I look back at the miracle of salvation that God has provided for me in Christ Jesus, then I see this in a different light and realize that my life must be lived in obedience to God and to His Word.

 

The Word of God was convicting to me today.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  To make an efferent, by faith, to enter into the rest that God desires me to enter into, and live by the power of His Holy Spirit.

 

Memory verse for the week:  1Peter 4:10

 

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
