Today’s Devotional Written By A Young Woman Who Is Determined And Dedicated: Tracy Koweh
Whose Behind those Shades Part II
Hebrews 4:12 (New Living Translation)
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Financial Institutions all around the country have adopted a new “NO HATS, NO HOODS, NO SUNGLASSES” policy in an attempt to warn off potential robbers. When the policy first rolled out at my job, there was so much chaos around how to get the word out. The implementation took weeks to finally become effective. We didn’t get how those 6 small words could make such a huge difference.
Well, one of our greatest marketing assets is a plasma TV inside each branch. Two of the many slides that show on the plasma are of the same man. The first is a man wearing a hat, hoodie and sunglasses. The slide immediately after is the same man without anything covering his face. The words on the second slide read, “We love to have face to face time with our members”. The difference in the slides are mind blowing. It’s amazing how much of a person’s identity can be hidden behind a few articles of material.
In our spiritual lives we have HATS, HOODS and SUNGLASSES, disguised as smiles, scriptures, and fake faith. We have learned to exist with hidden true identities. Although every person in the world can’t see what’s behind the tinted lenses, God sees straight to our heart. No amount of make-up or attire can mask us from God.
Today as head into hump day, let’s begin to show our true identities. It will save us a lot of wasted time to just be our true predestined selves. Today let’s remove the cover up, and experience a little face to face time with God.
