Key Text: Proverbs 5:21 KJV - For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
Many are being deceived and take pleasure in committing secret sin, forgetting that sinners who have gone before them are already in the depths of hell. Be not deceived, all your evil thoughts are loud enough in the ears of the Lord and they are punishable by Him except you repent. Be warned, because the all-seeing eyes of God are watching you. You cannot hide anything from the Lord.
When you behave inappropriately towards the opposite sex in secret; the Lord sees. Therefore, anything that may be considered immoral which you will not normally do with them in the presence of those that you respect or your spouse if married, should be avoided. You may cover your secret sins from man but you cannot hide them from God. Remember that God is omnipresent and omniscient.
Stolen Waters may taste sweet and bread eaten in secret pleasant but except you repent secret sin will eventually bring down the judgment of God upon you. Watch over your life for God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. In your daily life, be aware of God's ever abiding presence and reverence him.
Prayer: O Lord, cleanse me from secret faults and deliver me from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Reflection: Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant - Proverbs 9:17.
