CAN DARKNESS COVER?

21^ST  , JULY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 17-19

TEXT:  Job 24:14-25

14 The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; And in the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, ‘No eye will see me’; And he [a]disguises his face.
16 In the dark they break into houses Which they marked for themselves in the daytime; They do not know the light.
17 For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

18 “They should be swift on the face of the waters, Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
19 As drought and heat [b]consume the snow waters, So [c]the grave consumes those who have sinned.
20 The womb should forget him, The worm should feed sweetly on him; He should be remembered no more, And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
21 For he [d]preys on the barren who do not bear, And does no good for the widow.

22 “But God draws the mighty away with His power; He rises up, but no man is sure of life.
23 He gives them security, and they rely on it; Yet His eyes are on their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are [e]taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain.

25 “Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech worth nothing?”

KEY VERSE:

“In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.” -  Job 24:16

 

 

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

God sees through the darkest deeds of man.

 

THE MESSAGE:                                                                                        

An hotelier in a state in the South Western part of Nigeria was arrested by the Police following complaints by a family that he installed secret cameras in hotel rooms that they finally discovered breached their privacy. Many human actions done in secret have become a public scandal due to the use of modern technology and secret cameras installed in strategic places. But God does not need a digital camera to see the actions of men done in secret under the cover of darkness; "all things are naked and opened unto...him..." (Hebrews 4:13).

Today's text describes some categories of evil doers identified as murderers, adulterers and housebreakers who carry out their nefarious and shameful activities under the cover of darkness so that they will not be easily discovered. These are still very common in our contemporary society. They try to carry out their acts to evade discovery by law enforcement agents or other individuals.

Are you involved in any secret, sinful deal that is yet to be discovered? Are you stealing from your employer, parents, friends, customers or even from the church? Do not be deceived; God knows all your actions because His "eyes... are in every place, beholding the evil and the good" (Proverbs 15:3). He will certainly judge and bring to light, the hidden things of darkness.

The easy way out is to forsake all evil deeds, repent and make necessary restitution before God's long hand of justice catches up with you.
