Hebrews 4:13

“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.” (NKJV)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked (gumnos: bare, unclad, stripped of the body) and open to the eyes (ophthalmos: the faculty of knowing; sight) of Him to whom we must give account.”

SUMMARY

And there is nothing and no one that is hidden from His sight, but all things are bare and exposed, open to the sight of Him whom we must give account.

MEDITATION

Here in the foothills of the Northeast Georgia Mountains, most of our leaves have turned and fallen. For the last few days however, some have been hanging on for dear life. After I awoke this morning, per usual I walked over to the windows overlooking our back yard. We had obviously had a heavy rain overnight and nearly every last leaf now resides on the ground. I could see right through our trees and as the light of the sky was visible through them, I took notice. There was no longer anything to cover up the trees or to hide my view of the sky – all was laid bare before me. You see, the reality of God’s vision is that He doesn’t get hung up on what we do. I’m not even sure that He even sees my physical body. He sees so much deeper – into the real me, the real you. Today, unveil your life to Him completely - He already sees. Willingly approach Him with arms wide open – laid bare before your Maker.

This is so good Joel. Visual, and revealing how God looks at us, He sees so much deeper. And you know, I am glad, Who better to know me than God the Creator.
