We can and do keep things about ourselves hidden from one another. But today's verse of scripture reminds us of the omniscient God that we have. In Hebrew's 4:13 we read, "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do".
I will start at the end of the verse with this One "with whom we have to do". He is our God. He is our Savior. He is our Lord. He is our Father. Not that we should ever wish it so, but we can not escape His sight. This is true of the believer and non-believer alike. We should consider that "all things" include just that. All things. He knows our actions, whether public or private. He knows our true feelings. He is aware of every thought that has come into our mind. This should be a source of reverence and sober mindedness for His children.
But we should not fear this truth about Him but be grateful that He knows us so. This One "with whom we have to do" is the same One who desire whats best for us. The One who works in our life that we might share in His holiness. Yes, the One who "has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness" in order that we "might become partakers of the divine nature".
