Luke 12:2 (NLT) The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed,
and all that is secret will be made known to all.
I
often pray that God would reveal truth about a situation. I pray for churches
and church leaders in particular that God would expose any hidden sin and
reveal true motives. It often takes a great deal of time and energy to keep
things hidden as well as eroding integrity and our relationship with God and
others. This verse and prayers that follow from it can be real dynamite. I have
found my prayers answered on many occasions with shocking results. Church
leaders have been humbled and forced to resign as a result of the light of the
Holy Spirit exposing short comings. This does not mean prayer replaces
challenging wrong behaviour directly or asking appropriate questions but it
means that even when leaders are hard-hearted or in seemingly powerful
positions they cannot stand forever in face of a holy God. This verse should
also keep each one of us humble, we can fool many people, we can even deceive
ourselves but we will never fool God!
Father, expose my own sin
and help me walk in the light
