Scripture: For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:12-13 ESV)

Observation: God's word tells us where we stand, no facade will ever deceive The Lord.

Application: Let us not be haughty and upright, rather may we be humble and greatful for the forgiveness of sin.  We should not treat sin lightly, yet we should recognize that ALL have sinned, including us, and therefore fall short of the glory of God.  It is by faith and grace alone that we are saved.

Prayer: Daddy, You see every nano-second of our lives.  There is nothing that we do that You do not see.  Let us cling close to our faith, be thankful for the cross, and seek to abide in You for Your glory.  Amen!
