God Is Our Witness

God Is Our Witness “No one will know what I’ve done. There are no witnesses.” If we have been deceitful our conscience tells us it’s wrong. If we are not faithless, there is a sting and wrenching in the pit of our stomach that cuts deeper than being caught. Earthly witnesses, or not, the wicked evidence is there being recorded in our souls. The effects of our bad behavior upon another can perhaps fade with time. We may be grateful that others have softened after many years as they witnessed a turnaround in our lifestyle. We might hope that others will turn the other cheek and pretend that nothing has happened. In the bible Job shares this, ”O that my words were written down! O that they were inscribed in a book! O that with an iron pen and with lead they were engraved on a rock forever!” We need not put all our thought into what others think or whether they know what we’ve done in secret. God knows. God knows what happened yesterday. He knows what will transpire today. God knows what we will do tomorrow. There is a witness who will know what we’ve done. When we rise in the morning, a new page is being turned in our book. As we go through our day, our thoughts, acts and deeds are being recorded with an iron pen. When we lye our head down to sleep at night that is when the “period” is placed at the end of our day’s accounts. Every day we have an opportunity to open our hearts to God. In every situation we have a chance to reject sinfulness. In every prayer we have a God who can forgive us. Let us live daily by God’s word. God is our witness. God is miraculous and merciful. Because God loves us, with each new circumstance, He holds His iron pen, and with hope waits for us to show Him we’ve altered our ways.
