Sitka hiding from Mommie!
"God, you know every sin I've committed; My life's a wide-open book before you." Psalm 69:5 The Message
"We are not keeping secrets, we're telling them; we're not hiding things, we're bringing them out into the open." Mark 4:22 The Message
You can run, but you can not hide. Allow GOD to use your sin and mistakes to fulfill HIS purpose. He sees whether we acknowledge HIM or not. Live in the light and move forward!
Living in the light,
Andrea
What happened? Did you turn on the vacuum cleaner?
ReplyDeleteThat's how I try to live! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteI concur!

That is such a great picture....and analogy. We think we are hiding, but we are in plain site with God. :)
ReplyDeleteYour dog is beautiful.
Blessings,
Tammy
In one of the lessons of my Bible study, we talk about how God knows everything. In II Kings 17, one of the verses talk abouts how Israel did wrong things in secret. Just like you said, you cannot hide from God. He sees and knows it all.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Karen
Amen!......Living in the Light and moving forward praising Him for His love, mercy and grace!!
ReplyDeleteSweet Blessings!

That picture is so me! Once, back in college, I was doing some things wrong and I thought I would avoid conviction by not reading my Bible one day. As I was reading a novel, I came under the strongest sense of conviction I'd ever felt (and hope to never experience again). When I finally hit the floor on my knees, I heard the loving words of my heavenly Father saying "Don't EVER think you can decide when you and I are going to deal with something in your life. You cannot hide from me." It was terrifying, freeing, and comforting all at the same time. :)
ReplyDeleteI full agree !
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day, dear friend :)
xoxoxo
Amen, nothing is hidden from His sight. Or apparently Mommie's sight as well! Ha! But, what a CUTIE!!!
ReplyDeleteWylie
Amen.
ReplyDelete~ Love the picture of your Sitka !!
Have a blessed day dear friend.
What a cute photo!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie. I think he's just seeking shelter~under the wings?
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat message Andrea.
Have a lovely day.
Good message Andrea Love the sweet doggy (:) and music~
ReplyDeletehugs,Patty
I love this post! I had a bad day yesterday, looking at past failures. Failures I cannot change or correct! Yet, God is familiar with our weakness and devoted to the end. He forgives and forgets as far as the East is from the West.
ReplyDeleteYou words are timely today. Thanks for them!
too funny needs a better hiding spot!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures. :) I've got a big dog who thinks she fits under furniture too.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thanks for the reminder! :)
Amen, Andrea! Truth! Praise God!
ReplyDeleteThat was nice!

I love pictures of dogs trying to hide. I've got one that will do that. When he was a pup he would hide behind my daughter and bark at me. He's a hoot. His name is Seminole - he's the little pup you see on the right column of my blog.
ReplyDeleteLoved this, Andrea! Thank you...
ReplyDeleteAnd we all Sitka, too :)
When it is bath time, our mastiff, Zeke (all 150lbs. of him) tries to hide. Usually in the laundry room, which hardly holds our washer and dryer! Animals teach us so much, don't they!
Thanks for your wonderful work!
My Mom is now reading you! But, she is a lurker :)
xo, misha
I love the photo you used; how perfect. Yes we cannot hide from God, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Debbie
great post and just like Sitka, we *think* we're hiding. ha!
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet puppy!
:) Love this. Love you. Thanks for always having the most positive things to say.
ReplyDeletePraying for you. I hope your breathing is better. I struggle with this on a daily basis and now think of you and pray God is helping you through it.
Wonderful message.
ReplyDeleteA very good word...a key here for greater healing. Sitka is a perfect model.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Cute doggie picture.
ReplyDeleteA very timely post, Andrea. I've seen the same theme in several blog posts in recent days. God is doing a work in us all!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Beth
P.S. You have a beautiful dog! :-)
Beautiful Sitka makes this point perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteAmen! Wonderful post! Love the picture, he thinks he is hidden, just like we do at times. Very good message.
ReplyDeleteuntil next time... nel
Cute though :)
ReplyDeleteAmen...living in the light...
ReplyDeleteAndrea, thank you for stopping and visiting my blog today!
ReplyDeleteAmen to this message that you shared with us today!!
Sitka sure is a beautiful puppy dog, and is a real great model for this message today!
Have a great day!
Blessings,
~Lynn
Oh no! Did he eat another pan of lasagna? Just kidding. Cute pic of Sitka!
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy! God bless you sis.
What a precious picture and wonderful reminder. Thank you sweet friend!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Hiding ... when I think I can get away with something, God is right with me and reminding me that He sees. I am grateful that He can and does use my sins to teach me, to move me, to love me.
ReplyDeleteloving you, ~ linda
PS ... Sitka is under the coffee table, Andrea, in case you are missing a critter!! : )
good thoughts.....
ReplyDeleteAmen! I definitely have those moments when I would prefer to hide. So grateful that God keeps His light shining!
ReplyDeleteWhat did the doggie do? My dogs are always hiding from me. Must be because they are always getting unto trouble.
ReplyDeleteWe all need that reminder to "live in the light and move forward". Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI want your dog!!
ReplyDeleteaww that is such a cute picture.
ReplyDeleteblessings :)
Just like little kids; they thought once they close their eyes they can't be seen anymore. LOL
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
That is so cute! Great verses to go with the photo too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the post.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Very good message Andrea! We can't hide from God!
ReplyDeleteWe can't hide. He sees everything we do and say. Great reminder! Love the picture.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. Take care & God Bless.
ReplyDeleteI have learned not to try and hide....God knows everything we do anyway! Makes living a LOT easier!
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
Laura
Dear Sitka, Because of you, I am a better dog owner. Thanks for your encouragement. Daisy and Lucy say thank-you.
ReplyDeleteRegards, Erin
Oh how true Andrea! I'm so thankful that He can use all for His glory! Love the picture too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you dear one!
He knows all our faults and Loves us anyway - wow - I love that He loves us so much...
ReplyDeleteWe love because He first loved us.
God bless you, Andrea.
Love,
Kelly
How did you manage to catch this picture? And how apt too the theme about hiding from God.
ReplyDeleteIt's pointless. Wiser to just come clean before God. It sure saves a lot of time ;)
love,
~Silver
Oh my goodness!! That is priceless!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good week. I've been on Zyrtec this week. It helps, but not 100%
I love the picture of Sitka trying to hide, but of course he doesn't know how visible he is! What a perfect illustration of your post for today.
ReplyDeleteLove it...yes we can always run back to God's open arms of love.
Love
Lidj
We only fool ourselves when we try to hide our sins and faults.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your insight today,

I love that verse from Mark!
ReplyDeleteSuch wisdom, and all coming from the word of God. I like this blog...I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteAww! Look at how cute he is!! What a great picture illustration for a great message!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pic and Amen to..."Live in the light and move forward!"
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you. Thank you for always stopping by with a word of encouragement. It means so much to me!
ReplyDelete:hugs:
Hey there, my friend Jo from Life after bankruptcy...suggested I come over to your blog for a look see...love it! Thanks for sharing this encouraging post! God bless and May His face shine upon you today and beyond!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! Reminds me of when Oli tires to hide under the table!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo true (you can run but not hide) and such a perfect picture! Even the expression on Sitka's face looks guilty!
ReplyDeleteGood one, Andrea. What a perfect pairing of photo and Word.
ReplyDeleteCool ...
Definitely words to live by! We can be sure our sin will find us out! Better to confess and forsake it, and live in the light!! Your puppy is adorable!
ReplyDeletethat is so sweet...great illustration for these verses! :)
ReplyDeleteAs I see Sitka, and basking * and hiding * in his/ her beauty, I picture myself , in my hiding, and beauty , before the Lord as He calls out to me " Come to Abba, Daddy, My bautiful one! "
ReplyDeleteThank you for inspiring me to see beyond my sin, to how the Savior sees me, and calls out to me..
Hanging onto the Thread of Hope..

I'm trying to hide my darkest emotions right now. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
ReplyDeleteHe is light....... In HIM we live and move and have our being!

I'm sayin, look what happened the Jonah!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you sweetie and have a marvelous day!!! :o)
Love your dog....how beautiful!
ReplyDeletewhat a cutie...he needs a bigger table if he wants to hide properly...thanks for always stopping over to see me Andrea:)
ReplyDeleteLove the pic. My Bella hides when time for bath.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Andrea
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours .
I love this photo it really puts it all into perspecive visually .
Your visual aides help more than you could ever imagine .
I have needed to read your annointed words this week.
It has been a really long and rough week with my Mom .
I will still pray for her salvation even if she never stops rejecting God to my face.
However it sure can leave a lot of bruises on the heart .
I feel like a punching bag at the moment .
Thank you for so many positive uplifiting posts lately .
God bless you with all you have need of today and in all the days to come.
Have a wonderful weekend !
Love and hugs
Happy Trails
How cute. There is no hiding. Everything comes to the light.
ReplyDeleteJust did a study on that!
ReplyDeleteKate
Such an adorable pic!
ReplyDeleteIf we would only let God deal with us!, It's always so much better than trying to run away or hide things, all that does is cause it to become worse. Great ananolgy with the pup. Kinda like my cat who hides her head then thinks she's totally hidden!
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Debra

Not to mention is how stressful is the hiding! How much better, and easier, it is to live without a clandestine existence.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kathleen
So true!
ReplyDeletethat is exactly what I'm doing, Girlfriend, when He says to share...I share because I so don't want another to walk that path and deal with all of those consequences. I want them to draw near to Him and cling baby cling.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture. I want Him to see me. If He doesn't see me, how can He help me? Somehow, His omniscience is a fearful, but a wonderful and conforting thing.
ReplyDeleteAmen! :)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by and check on you. You are so right we can all run but there is no hiding place..
ReplyDeleteHope your doing well
Love
Maggie
So true! Sitka is sure pretty.
ReplyDeleteUh-oh, what did Sitka do?
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful for the forgiveness of my sins.
Love ya Andrea!
