Matthew 16:7
Many times we find the disciples discussing things among themselves. They had a tendency to do this. It seems that they never seemed to think Jesus knew what they were thinking. Even up to the last few days before his death, the disciples still had conversations among themselves that they did not share with Christ.
This betrays a natural part of human nature. We feel that, no matter what, we can be alone with our own thoughts. We think, also, that we can maintain a group of close friends with which we share certain things. We have this idea that we can ‘keep a secret’ from God. This is due to our misconception of reality. We work with limitations so much that we think God must be somehow limited too. We forget the reality of the Infinite One. We forget that every thought that has ever gone through our heads has already been recorded. He already knows about all of it.
Bible Reading: Proverbs 16:1-18:24
Scripture Memory: 1 John 4:6 “We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us, he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
