He who planted the ear,
does he not hear?
He who formed the eye,
does he not see?
Psalm 94:9
In our Wednesday study on Ephesians, we’ve been talking lately about the heart. One of the images we’ve used is the “clean heart.”
In Psalm 51, King David famously prays, “create in me a clean heart, O God.” Do you remember the story behind it?
David commits his worst sin – adultery leads to murder – but proudly thinks he’s covered it up.
And then the prophet comes.
Nathan reminds David that he can’t hide his actions from God.
That’s what our verse for today is about. We all – at least sometimes – act like God doesn’t see and hear and know and even grieve our “secret” actions.
Confession is not for God’s awareness. It’s for us. We NEED to humbly tell God how and why and where we failed. Why? Because it’s in the telling that relationship is forged, trust is formed, and life truly begins.
In Christ’s Love,
a guy who ought to remember
that the creator of my eyes and ears
has bigger eyes and ear than I
