I found this...

Well, not a this, but a who, hiding behind the door of his bedroom. I was looking after my grandson and found the silence deafening, which meant that it was time to go and find this mischievous little person. When you have small children, silence isn’t golden, as they say but usually very suspicious.

It reminds me, of how when we are doing something wrong we like to do it in secret. Particularly as children we don’t want our parents to find out what we are up to. Even as adults we want to hide it from the public eye. How much easier would it be for the Police if all t wronheg things people do were done in daylight; where it can be seen and they can be arrested straight away. I have been told of some of the naughty things I did as a child and even hiding the evidence.

We are reminded of the reality that no matter how hard we try to hide, we are not hidden and cannot hide from God. In Psalm 139: we are told just how much God sees about us. It doesn’t matter if we are lying down or walking God can see us. He can even see out thoughts before we speak them. Verses 11-12 says: “If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.”

I’m sure that all of us at some time or other wished that God didn’t know so much about us but then there are those days when we want to hide from the world and we find ourselves being very grateful that He can find us and give us what we need.
