Psalm 139:1-2 (ESV)
1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my
thoughts from afar.
Here is a funny story of drunkenness that brings home a
truth to each of us.
He snuck up the stairs as quietly as he could. He looked
in the bathroom mirror and bandaged the couple of bumps and bruises he'd
received in a fight earlier that night. He was a little drunk, but nobody had
to know. He proceeded to climb into bed, smiling at the thought that he'd
pulled one over on his wife. When morning came, he opened his eyes and there
stood his wife. "You were drunk last night weren't you!" "What?
What do you mean?" He replied. "How could you think such a thing?"
"Well, if you weren't drunk, my dear," his wife pointed in the
direction of the bathroom, "why are there bruises on your face and a bunch
of band-aids on the bathroom mirror?"
Likewise, I think sometimes when we sin, we think we're
pulling one over on the Lord. Not so. The Lord sees all and knows all. He knows
our every move, even before we make it. And one day, we will have to stand
before Him and be held accountable. I don't know about you, but I don't want
Him to play back those sins, do you?
Dear Lord, we pray today that we would be strong and
stand up against the temptations that come our way so that we would not sin
against You. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
