No secrets

No secrets …

 

Job 31:4 

Does He not see my ways
and count all my steps?

 

“There are no secrets what God can do”... is a very likely song.

When it plays on the radio ... we all just hum along.

There is another part to the tune ... we just don’t know the words.

“Do You not see all my ways ... and count my steps, Oh Lord!”

 

Our every thought is known to Him and our every word He hears.

This does not include our actions ... which we forget after little fear.

Stored somewhere in an account ... that shows an unpaid balance

that unless paid before the end ... will become a futile challenge.

 

In the flesh no man is justified ... does that mean we’re in the red?

And no matter how hard we try ... our end is to be sad

With nothing there our debts to pay ... just to be empty-handed

To be bankrupted and to deserve ... to remain with all the stranded

it's well written but it left me alittle confused on how you felt. do you belive that God's son washed All sin away? including what we haven't even done yet? or do you belive we will die amung the lonely?

I believe when you are one of God's elect, even self cannot move and interfere with His purpose for you ...  Romans 8:26-39New English Translation (NET Bible) 

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will. 28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose, 29 because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.

31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us! 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
