Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party.
- 0:02Speaker 2: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time right now for
- 0:06Speaker 2: today's word.
- 0:07Speaker 1: No need to hide, no need to hide.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Hebrews four point thirteen says nothing at all creation is
- 0:17Speaker 2: hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes.
- 0:23Speaker 1: And He is the one whom we are accountable.
- 0:29Speaker 2: You know, from the very beginning humanity has struggled with
- 0:34Speaker 2: trying to hide. Adam and Eve tried to cover their sins,
- 0:38Speaker 2: and since then we've all attempted, in some way or
- 0:42Speaker 2: another to hide. Perhaps is guilt over a mistake. Maybe
- 0:47Speaker 2: it's an addiction, anger, pride, or insecurity. Maybe it's trying
- 0:51Speaker 2: to maintain an image, or pretending everything is okay when
- 0:55Speaker 2: it is not. David experienced this first hand with Bathsheba.
- 1:01Speaker 2: He tried to cover up his wrongdoing for over a year.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Hiding might feel like protection, but in reality, it only
- 1:10Speaker 2: prolongs the struggle. The truth is God already sees it all.
- 1:14Speaker 2: He knows your weaknesses, he knows your failures, and he
- 1:19Speaker 2: knows all the areas you wish were hidden. Pretending doesn't
- 1:25Speaker 2: change anything. It only keeps you from the freedom God
- 1:29Speaker 2: wants to give you. The better way is honesty. Coming
- 1:34Speaker 2: to God and saying I'm tired of pretending. I want
- 1:38Speaker 2: to be real before you. I need your help. I
- 1:42Speaker 2: can't do this.
- 1:43Speaker 1: On my own.
- 1:44Speaker 2: God isn't shocked by your struggles. He knows any way,
- 1:47Speaker 2: my grandmother will say. He says, Heidi looks low. He
- 1:50Speaker 2: knows everything anyway. He isn't disappointed by your failures. Instead,
- 1:57Speaker 2: he invites you into transferm He invites you into healing.
- 2:02Speaker 2: He invites you to restoration. When you stop hiding and
- 2:06Speaker 2: you start being honest with God, guess what, you open
- 2:09Speaker 2: the door for Him.
- 2:10Speaker 1: To work fully in your life.
- 2:13Speaker 2: So today, refuse to carry the weight of pretense. Let
- 2:18Speaker 2: God see the real youth.
- 2:20Speaker 1: He knows it anyway.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Confess, surrender, and trust Him to make all things new
- 2:27Speaker 2: in your life.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Freedom begins when.
- 2:29Speaker 2: You stop hiding and you start leaning fully on the
- 2:33Speaker 2: grace of God.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Father.
- 2:35Speaker 2: God, thank you that we don't have to hide our weaknesses.
- 2:38Speaker 2: We don't have to hide our failures or even our struggles.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Search our hearts, God, and show us where we're pretending
- 2:45Speaker 2: a trying to cover things up. God, we humbly admit
- 2:50Speaker 2: that we need your help and your transforming power.
- 2:53Speaker 1: In our lives.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Thank you for loving us just the way that we are,
- 2:57Speaker 2: and thank you for working to.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Make us more and more like you every single day.
- 3:02Speaker 1: In Jesus' name.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Hey, now that's your word for today. Take it applied
- 3:08Speaker 2: to your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged
- 3:12Speaker 2: and inspired with me, your girl, Sherry Mackie not having
- 3:15Speaker 2: a need to hide.
