“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:13 NIV)

Not a creature exists that is concealed from Me. Everything is open and exposed before Me. I see and know everything (Hebrews 4:13). I know your every waking moment. I know how the darkness tries to press in. When the darkness presses in it seems greater than the light. It seems larger than life and like an eclipse it seems to remove the sun.

Don’t let your eclipse-like circumstances become the object of your focus. As you focus on the pressing darkness of the circumstances they become an obsession and can be an idol. Focusing on the circumstances gives them a place of power greater than Me. Set your face like flint in My direction and know you will not be confounded or put to shame when you put your trust in Me (Isaiah 50:7).
