And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.” - 2 Kings 17v9
The previous chapters are a sad litany of he wicked kings of Israel. News from Judah was not much better. Finally it seems that God has had enough and he allows the wicked nation of Assyria to come and carry Israel away into captivity.
Among the charges listed against Israel is that they “did secretly” those things that were not right. They did these secret things against the Lord. I am sure that since they did those things secretly they didn’t think anyone would notice.
They forgot something. Nothing can be hidden from God. He sees it all. Just like He saw the things that Israel did secretly he also sees the things we try to do in secret today.
Are things in your life that you are doing secretly, hoping that maybe, just maybe, God will not take notice? Lets stop fooling ourselves – He knows.
