Our Daily Bread 14th July 2018 Devotional – Hiding Our Hurts

Our Daily Bread 14th July 2018 Devotional 

Topic: Hiding Our Hurts

Read: Hebrews 4:12–13  Bible in a Year: Psalms 10–12; Acts 19:1–20

Key Verse: The word of God . . . judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Message: I was guest-speaking in a local church and my topic was an honest story about presenting our brokenness before God and receiving the healing He wants to give. Before closing in prayer, the pastor stood in the center aisle, looked deeply into the eyes of his gathered congregants, and said, “As your pastor I have the privilege of seeing you midweek and hearing your heart-breaking stories of brokenness. Then in our weekend worship services, I have the pain of watching you hide your hurt away.”

My heart ached at the hidden hurts God came to heal. The writer of Hebrews describes the Word of God as alive and active. Many have understood this “word” to be the Bible, but it’s even more than that. Jesus is the living Word of God. He evaluates our thoughts and attitudes—and loves us still.

Jesus died to give us access to God’s presence, all the time. And while we all know it’s not wise to share everything with everyone, we also know that God intends His church be a place where we can live unapologetically as broken and forgiven followers of Christ. It’s to be a place where we “carry each other’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2).

What are you hiding from others today? And how are you trying to hide from God as well? God sees us through Jesus. And He still loves us. Will we let Him?

Food for Thought: Who will you prayerfully consider letting help you carry your burdens?

God sees us with the eyes of a Father.
