Today's Word 10-07-25: No Need to Hide

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's your early morning praise party.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time right now for
today's word.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
No need to hide, no need to hide.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hebrews four point thirteen says nothing at all creation is
hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
And He is the one whom we are accountable.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
You know, from the very beginning humanity has struggled with
trying to hide. Adam and Eve tried to cover their sins,
and since then we've all attempted, in some way or
another to hide. Perhaps is guilt over a mistake. Maybe
it's an addiction, anger, pride, or insecurity. Maybe it's trying

(00:51):
to maintain an image, or pretending everything is okay when
it is not. David experienced this first hand with Bathsheba.
He tried to cover up his wrongdoing for over a year.
Hiding might feel like protection, but in reality, it only
prolongs the struggle. The truth is God already sees it all.

(01:14):
He knows your weaknesses, he knows your failures, and he
knows all the areas you wish were hidden. Pretending doesn't
change anything. It only keeps you from the freedom God
wants to give you. The better way is honesty. Coming
to God and saying I'm tired of pretending. I want

(01:38):
to be real before you. I need your help. I
can't do this.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
On my own.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
God isn't shocked by your struggles. He knows any way,
my grandmother will say. He says, Heidi looks low. He
knows everything anyway. He isn't disappointed by your failures. Instead,
he invites you into transferm He invites you into healing.
He invites you to restoration. When you stop hiding and

(02:06):
you start being honest with God, guess what, you open
the door for Him.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
To work fully in your life.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
So today, refuse to carry the weight of pretense. Let
God see the real youth.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
He knows it anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Confess, surrender, and trust Him to make all things new
in your life.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Freedom begins when.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
You stop hiding and you start leaning fully on the
grace of God.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Father.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
God, thank you that we don't have to hide our weaknesses.
We don't have to hide our failures or even our struggles.
Search our hearts, God, and show us where we're pretending
a trying to cover things up. God, we humbly admit
that we need your help and your transforming power.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
In our lives.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Thank you for loving us just the way that we are,
and thank you for working to.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Make us more and more like you every single day.
In Jesus' name.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Hey, now that's your word for today. Take it applied
to your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged
and inspired with me, your girl, Sherry Mackie not having
a need to hide.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
