Don't
Excuse Yourself By Saying, “Look, We Didn't Know.”
For
God Understands All Hearts, And He Sees You.
He
Who Guards Your Soul Knows You Knew.
Scripture
Proverbs
24
12 Don’t
excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.

He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
Observation
I
guess you can see that I read a Proverb almost everyday. When I read
my daily Bible reading and nothing jumps out at me for me to write
about I will always go to Psalms and Proverbs.
I
will usually take the Psalm which corresponds to the date of the
month, like Psalm 24 for today, then I will add either 30 or 100 to
today's date 24 and so today I also read Psalm 54. And I will read
the Proverb that corresponds to today's date and so today I read
Proverbs 24.
So
this is my thought about Proverbs 24:12:
Many
times we make excuses when we sin. We either try to say, “Look, we
didn't know”, or we will try to blame someone else for our sin.
Trying
to plead ignorance is not going to work and neither is trying to put
the blame on our spouse or someone else.
Let's
put on our big boy pants on and admit to God and to everyone else
when we mess up. … He who guards our soul knows we knew!
Application
I
know that God sees everything that I do. I know that He knows. I will
confess my sins to God as I commit them and I will not make excuses
for them or blame someone else. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that You see everything that I do. I know that when I
sin it makes You sad. I realize that You love me way too much to let
me get by with sin that is not confessed. Make me miserable every
time that I sin. Bring conviction to my soul. Don't ever let me try
to blame someone else for what I do wrong. Help me to walk in
obedience and walk in a way that pleases You.
I
pray for my friend Don Kennedy today as he has surgery. Guide the
surgeon's hands. I pray for a quick recovery with no setbacks. Give
his wife Edith and his girls Your peace that passes all understanding
as they trust in You.
Daily
Bible Reading: Exodus 9,10,11; Luke 24 … I added Psalm 24, Psalm
54; Proverbs 24
