Just about everywhere you go people are wearing masks. Whether it's Walmart or the hospital you can't really go far without bumping into someone wearing a mask, mostly because of safety measures related to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
However, many people, including church folks, were wearing masks long before we learned about the Pandemic.
Of course, I’m thinking about deceptions and disguises, not physical masks.
Our masks are the faces that we show to the public to hide something we want to keep secret.
The battered wife hides behind a mask of denial to hide her abusive husband.
Cheaters wear masks to fool their spouses they’ve been faithful. Thieves, murderers, and adulterers wear masks to hide their deceptions.
It'd not just Health concerns that motivate us to wear our masks, our desire to keep something secret plays a part, too.
We should all read Luke 12:2 Which says, "Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.” - Mask or no mask, God sees everything.
God sees our hearts and he knows the thoughts of our minds. We can’t hide from him.
He knows who we are even if we try to hide what we are behind a mask.
That’s a warning and promise. We can’t hide from him, but no matter how we try to hide it from others behind our masks, he knows what we need and provides it every day.
