When No One Knows

What are we like when no other human sees what we do? In moments like these, we can forget that God sees us even when no one is around. To help us, He even laid out principles in the law to help us know how to act at times like these.

He provided rules for circumstances when no one knew who committed a crime. The rules were precise, even defining proper conduct when, after an extensive investigation, the guilty person was not identified.

In the world, both then and now, many people ignore these kinds of guidelines and God’s principles. They cheat and steal. Deceive and lie. They do anything for profit or to gain an advantage and escape punishment.

But the Bible reminds us that God knows the truth in every situation. He knows who is guilty and innocent. He knows our hearts. What we think and do, even things done in secret.

His Word reminds us of His constant presence. We are called to a higher standard, to act with integrity and honesty, even if no one can see us. We always are to do what is right, all the time.

Today, remember that God is with you in every situation. You can call on Him for wisdom and guidance, protection and favor. But also remember that He watches what you do. Always seek to please Him, to be a good example.
