THINGS HIDDEN

     And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:  and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  (Genesis 3: 8)
     Why do young children run and hide from parents?   And how do parents know that their kids have been up to something just because of the silence of their kids?
     Why do thieves wait for the cover of darkness?
     Why is it that armies wait for darkness before launching attacks upon their enemies?
     Why is it said that certain people have come out of the closets?  What are they doing in darkness?
     Why is it said that sin loves darkness?
     Why is it that when the preacher or priest arrives at your home unannounced, you say, "Wait a minute"?  Why do you run and hide something or put on clothes?
     Why is it said that the Devil likes religion?  Is it because of the darkness?
     Why are hundreds of Christian churches deserting Christ to lock arms with religions of darkness?
     Why do so many preachers and priests not teach about the Light of Jesus?  Why are they leading their people in darkness?
     In a passage of the Holy Scriptures, Jesus speaks about a group of Jews that are not Jews?
     Could Jesus also say there are Christians that are not Christians?
     What do people mean when they say the Devil is dancing down the isles and turning cartwheels between the pews?
     Why do people say they are Christians, yet they are uncomfortable if the topic is about the Son of God?  Could it possibly be they are still in darkness?
     Adam and Eve KNEW they had sinned against God and they were hiding in darkness.
     Because of the work of the Holy Spirit, at this very moment you KNOW that Christ is not your Saviour, or you know that He is.
    Because of the work of the Holy Spirit, at this very moment you KNOW Christ is not your Saviour and therefore you hide in your religion as a cover of darkness to avoid facing God with your sin and believing that your way to heaven will get you there.
    For the past 2000 years, the Holy Spirit has been revealing Christ to the minds of people and they KNOW about Him and people continue to hide in places of darkness.
     Pride is therefore the evidence of things hidden in darkness and darkness is the evidence of evil.
    In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus taught us to say:  Our Father, deliver us from evil.
    May God grant you grace today to believe that.
