Have you ever attempted to hide something from someone? I’m certain we all have and perhaps been successful. One that cannot be fooled is our Almighty God. Oh, we try to hide our sin or mask over them, even misleading those around us…..but not God. It is there-what I will refer to as our ‘den of thieves’, that an attempt to disguise our hearts/lives will result in failure and disappointment from God. Jeremiah 7:9-11 reminds us of this clearly and verse 11 hits at the heart-“Has this house which bears my Name, become a den of thieves to you? But I have been watching!” declares the Lord. As thieves will hide from their actions to try to avoid authorities/to ‘feel safe’, if we are not careful, we too can try the same with our sin just as the people of Judah falsely trusted that the Temple could protect them in spite of their sin. God knows our every move/thought-He is watching! We cannot hide sin from God. There is no shelter or refuge except through the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
