Beneath These Clothes I Pray Naked Before Thee

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Our Nakedness

Do we attempt to hide who we really are from God by covering ourselves in some fashion? Do we pretend to be spiritually in control when in fact we are anything but? Do we tuck our sins away within us where we feel they are safely hidden from God’s eyes? Who are we fooling except ourselves when we believe that God doesn’t know our deepest secrets and see us for who we are? He is God, and knows our every thought and sin, so we shouldn’t be reluctant to bare ourselves openly before him and seek His help in dealing with our nakedness and imperfections; He has known them all along... even those we have tried to hide away in the furthest recesses of our hearts.

The Unseen Hand of God

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , God’s Secret Hand

For some reason we tend to think that Jesus only intercedes for us when we can see evidence that He is doing so, or that God’s help only occurs when, and where we can see His hand moving. It is wrong to think that we will always see some hint of His coming, or that we must feel the ground shaking, or see the waters tremble, as He approaches. Thanks be to God that this is not the case, and that even when we sleep, or are unaware, our Heavenly Father watches over us, He protects us, and He prepares a way for us. In those moments when He is working in secret, and we believe that we are alone, or that God isn’t hearing our prayers, He is at work, and He has surrounded us with angels. Do we have faith in this, or must our eyes be opened before we are able to believe?
