As If God Is Seeing It

Wednesday, August 4, 2021

A rabbi asked by his followers, "How do we live righteously?" answered, "Live as if your neighbors can see everything you do." His students rebuked him, saying, "That's not a good answer, Rabbi. You should have said, live as if God sees everything you do, not as if people do." The rabbi replied, "God already sees all you do and yet you live like you're more concerned with what people think of you, then what God thinks of you." Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus said something similar, "Whatever you do in the dark will be seen in the light. Whatever you whisper in secret will be shouted from the rooftops." God sees and hears everything you do and say. So thinking things are done in secret is an illusion because, in the end, it's all going to be revealed. Don't live in such a way as to be ashamed on that day. Confess your sins, and bring every shameful thing in your life into God's light. Live a life worthy of being shouted from the rooftops, and you won't have anything to worry about later on.
