Nothing is hidden from God

Pam Padgett ... teacher

Since the bombings at the Boston marathon a few weeks ago, some of the news reporters have talked about cameras in public places and other ways United States government agencies are constantly trying to monitor for danger, such as other terrorist attacks.  A great deal of money and effort is spent, yet they are unaware of some of the things they want to stop. 

While thinking about this, I was reminded that God knows all things.  Nothing is hidden from God.  God knows even the number of hairs on our head. 

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

God is aware of each thing about us and each thing that concerns and affects us.  If it is the will of God for something to be stopped, He will stop it.  When we go through adversity, we are promised that God will not leave nor forsake those who belong to Him (Hebrews 13:5).

And since nothing is hidden from God, He knows everything we do.  Nothing we do, say, think, or have in our heart is hidden from God. 

Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Man tries to hide his deeds from other men.  But no one can hide from God.
