Psalm 121 verse 8 (NIV)
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
There is a saying that I’ve often heard that no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. It means, I think, that we don’t know everything about those we come into contact with. People can be good at putting a face on whilst out and about in public. Sometimes we feel we have to stick to convention and we are not truly being ourselves.
I always find this verse reassuring. God knows all that goes on behind our closed doors – the things that others don’t see. And because then there are no surprises for Him, it means that we are always our real selves. Even if that’s not always something we’re proud of, it’s that same person that God sent Jesus to redeem. He loves that person that nobody else sees.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for that reassurance. That means I can bring everything to you. What a compassionate and gracious God You are! Amen.
