My Daily Devotional

Always be Truthful

“He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.”
1st Corinthians 4:5

Just recently, the news was filled about new revelations that have been discovered about the presidential candidates. Many of these were things that they had tried to hide from the public, as they bordered on unlawful acts and behavior that will damage their reputations and their character in the eyes of the public. Even though these individuals thought they were above the law, and took the chance to engage in these activities their sins have now been uncovered and brought to light. Just as the scripture above states, their sins have found them out. We may think that we can do something that is wrong and get away with it, and many times we do keep it hidden from man’s eyes, but God knows all things and knows when we sin and do things we are not supposed to do. He knows the motives of our hearts, and our thoughts and actions even in private are not hidden from His sight. Over the years I have witnessed many highly talented people submit an application for employment to my hospitals, and have falsified information on their resumes, with the intention of making them more qualified for the positions. When their resumes were checked out, their real qualifications were discovered, which resulted in them not being hired. We need to always be aware of falsifying anything with the intention of making things better than they are, as it is better to be humble than boastful. We need to always speak the truth, and our actions and behavior should always reflect what is right and truthful. I would encourage each of you to be truthful in all you do, and have the right motive, as you might be able to keep the truth from men, but not from God.
