Quit the Pretense

By Linda Tancs

In Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, Brutus is reminded that the fault “is not with our stars but within ourselves….” In other words, fate is not responsible for our actions; we are. God expects us to take responsibility for our actions instead of refusing to take responsibility and blaming God (or others) for our mistakes, and He aids us in facing our transgressions (Proverbs 28:13). If it were not so, then we would not be required to give an account for our life and actions (Hebrews 4:13).

Night Vision

By Linda Tancs

Many animals have better night vision than humans, so we rely on night vision technologies to increase our capacity to see in low-light conditions. God, of course, needs no help seeing in the dark; even darkness is as light to Him (Psalm 139:12). That means that nothing is hidden from Him, including the darkness of sin. It’s all laid bare and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account (Hebrews 4:13). You can’t keep God in the dark about anything, so don’t bother trying.
