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 (Hebrews 4:13).
The problem with God being able to see everything is that He sees into our hearts, and He knows the vileness that is stored in there. When the Bible uses the term “heart,” it either means the seat of the emotions, therefore a part of the soul, or it means the spirit man, the person we really are—the new spirit given to us when we were born again. The old man of the world is gone, and the new man of the spiritual realm is now residing in our body. We have to read the context in which the word was used in order to know which heart the Word is talking about. Either heart, by the way, is looked at by God as if He were using a microscope. He misses nothing. He will help us clean out our hearts if we ask Him, but He appreciates our initiative in doing the cleaning. If we want Him to be pleased with us, then we’ll keep ourselves squeaky clean so that when He looks inside, which is every minute of every day or night, we will shine!

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 (Hebrews 4:13).
If we honestly got out of bed in the morning in a constant state of gratitude for every good thing in life, and we took the time to put that gratitude into words, we would not get anything else done. There is so much to be thankful for. In this world there is far more good than evil, yet the evil seems to capture so much of our attention, and therefore, we have so much complaining. Did you know that God hates complaining? When the Israelites were wandering in the desert and they complained loudly about their conditions, He sent snakes into their living quarters. Snakes! That’s what God thinks about complaining. 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 (Hebrews 4:13).
If we have a God who is made out of love, it only stands to reason that He wants some time to pour out His love on us. I don’t know about you, but I get so caught up in how I am going to love Him, that I forget all about His love for me. I’m doing my best to do what is right, to be the kind of person He wants me to be; you know what I’m talking about—loving the unlovable, forgiving the impossible, sharing with the needy. But what about Him? 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 (Hebrews 4:13).
From an English grammar point of view, God is the subject of the Bible, we are the object, and the verb that completes the sentence is “to give.” God gave. . . . Consider what giving does: it brings people to Christ. It takes greed out of our hearts. Giving is a blessing. Giving brings a blessing. |
