OPEN SECRET
Text: Mark 4:21-22
By: Adeaga O. Favour
What if someone secretly records what you do in your closet and think in your mind and plays it for people to see or listen to, would you be proud to have done them? Our true selves are not what men see in the public but what we do when no one is there to caution or put us on a check.
Jesus made it known to us from today's reading that everything we do in the secret, soon or later, would be unveiled for the world to see. We do not have total control of our life, whatever we do, think and say will all be accounted for someday. And when the day comes, what report would you give?
Living every moment of our life as if Jesus would come at that time is a major way to help live right. The little lies you speak, adjustment in the measurement you use to sell, illegal usage of light, padded quotations and so on will all be accounted for someday. Would you rather make amends before that day comes?
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
Whatever you do and are afraid of a third party is against God's will.
PRAY:
Lord, in whatever way I am defaulting, help me to make amends in Jesus' name.
