Verse from Ezekiel

他对我说:「人子啊,以色列 家的长老暗中在各人画像屋里所行的,你看见了吗?他们常说:『耶和华看不见我们;耶和华已经离弃这地。』」
以西结书 8:12 

“Then He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, 'The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"”
Ezekiel 8:12 

“You can’t see me!”

When small children play “hide and seek,” they sometimes believe they’re hiding just by covering their eyes. If they can’t see you, they assume you can’t see them.

Naïve as that may seem to adults, we sometimes do something similar with God. When we find ourselves desiring to do something we know is wrong, our tendency may be to shut God out as we willfully go our own way.

The prophet Ezekiel discovered this truth in the vision God gave him for his people, exiled in Babylon. (Ezek. 8:12). God misses nothing, and Ezekiel’s vision was proof of it.


You can try to hide your wrong from humans, but you can't hide from God.
