Nothing to Hide

 

 

This is the 109^th letter:

 

Text for the day: 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

 

Our Theme for the day: Nothing to Hide

 

Our Devotional

 

"Never give away your work. Because people don't value what they don't have to pay for." These are the words of Nancy Hale, who understood something about life. In our final devotion for the year remember, you are not called as servant leaders to peddle the word of God for profit like so many are doing. On the contrary, speak for Christ before God to men today with sincerity, like men sent from God. Do not lose heart because people are not responding as you like you desire to see them respond. You have been given a ministry of mercy from the Lord, continue on doing it.

 

As you are about to walk into a new year, it’s time to renounce your secret and shameful ways. It’s time to stop using deception and distortion. Set the truth plainly before every man's conscience in the sight of God, and let the spirit of God do its work. If your gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who do not want to listen, because they are perishing. In the days of Paul, truth still remained hidden. This situation was not due to a lack of clearness in the gospel itself, but to the attitude of the minds and hearts to which it was addressed. Paul’s thinking for the minority that persisted in following the false apostles among the people of Corinth was that they repent, and the Vail of salvation, be open. Matt. 18:11, Luke 15:4, 6, 24, 31, 32; 19:10

 

God is giving His last call for the year; don’t be taken back by the blindness of the people of this age. Their gods have blinded their minds, they are unbelievers. Today let the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, shine from you. Be open and have nothing to hide, because you are God’s servant continue to walk and work by His side.
