Verse from Ezekiel

他对我说:人子啊!以色列家的众长老各在自己偶像的房间里暗中所行的,你看见了吗?他们说:耶和华看不见我们,耶和华已经离开这地了。’””

‭‭以西结书‬ ‭8:12‬ ‭


“He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? 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.
