uncovering the darkness


Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!


One of the things that I believe is that God is involved in all of our lives.  Whether we know it or want it, He loves us and is working around us.  That is one reason why thinking that we hide things from God is just not possible.

Take that a step farther and know that always what is done in secret and for the wrong reason will always come to be known.  Year ago I heard it said it said, “what ever we seek to cover, God will uncover, and whatever we uncover, God will cover.”  That quote directly relates to sin.

The scripture confirms this in many places as well.  While reading my devotion early this week I came across this verse:

Job 12:22 NLT
He uncovers mysteries hidden in darkness; he brings light to the deepest gloom.

Another great confirmation of the truth I talked about.  Move in another direction and realize that our God will always bring us out of the dark when we seek Him.  It is not an instant answer or a quick fix for depression and pain.  But God promises us His light.

I shared this with some friends, and my friend Jerry Byrd sent me this:

We could look at is as film, it holds pictures of our sin and it can be developed and exposed in darkness but if the film is exposed to light it becomes blank.

That is powerful truth.  May we understand and even seek the light of God each and every day.  He will make our darkness light.  He will shine the light in the areas where we are stuck or hurt or struggling.

1 John 1:5  NLT
This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.

2 Samuel 22:29  NLT
O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness.

We cannot hide.  Live in the light!

Ephesians 5:8  NLT
For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!
