The fact that God knows everything about me is good

Last night I was standing in front of the refrigerator. And even though I am on a diet, I stood there with the refrigerator door open, looking at the Tres Leches thinking, “Just a small bite ….”

You know how it goes. You get into a debate with yourself: “Go ahead; it won’t hurt this one time.” “No, I’m on this diet.”

It’s in moments like these that Satan feeds us a devilish excuse, “No one will ever know.”

You may not be standing in front of the refrigerator. You may be at work; or some place you shouldn’t be, doing what you shouldn't do. But you go ahead and do something questionable because we all can get caught in the false belief that “no one will ever know.” But God already knows!

There are going to be days when we feel we just can't do it. Everywhere we turn, there is another temptation, another chance to blow it. Occasionally, we might even give in, but that is no reason to give up. Part of being human means we won't succeed every time we try something. That's okay. When we find ourselves in situations where we give in, that is when we need to call on God, asking for forgiveness, strength, and determination. God shall send forth His mercy and His truth, and we will be able to pick up from where we left off and do even better the next time.
