One Day All Secrets Will Be Made Known

Barlow, our Yorkie, has been gaining weight over the last few months. This had me perplexed, since I have always carefully measured out how much food he eats every day (he will eat endlessly if I let him) and I had not increased his food intake. Concernedly, Barlow was looking more and more like a little pig than a dog. To solve the problem, I gradually began feeding him lesser amounts of dog food.

Then a few days ago, I caught the culprit. Can you guess? Osha (our "angelic" Siamese cat) has been using his paw to scoop cat food out of his bowl and onto the floor, just so he can watch with fascination as the waiting piglet gobbles it up. (My mind must not have been working to its full capacity to not realize Osha had something to do with Barlow getting suddenly obese.) Osha must have known it was wrong too, because he never did this in front of me until of late when he slipped up and didn't realize I was watching.

The Bible says that there is coming a time when every sin that has been concealed will be revealed, and all that has been kept secret will be made known to all. God sees everything, so it is foolish for anyone to try to hide sin, keep secrets, or be dishonest.

Today, through the Internet, fraudulent people who try to hide their sins are being exposed sooner. The reputations of these people, many of whom were once idols to millions, are quickly brought to ruin. They are humiliated and mocked in front of the whole world, no longer known for their great achievements, but for their sins and evilness. This verse is coming to pass as hidden sins and secrets are being made known to "all".

"The time is coming when everything

that is covered up will be revealed,

and all that is secret

will be made known to all."

Luke 12:2 (NLT)
