Stop acting so proud and haughty! Don’t speak with such arrogance! For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done; he will judge your actions. – 1 Samuel 2:3(NLT)
THE GOD WHO KNOWS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you think you can get away with anything?
Watch out for God knows everything
Stop acting proud and being haughty
He judges your action if you are naughty.
There is a God who sees and knows all
Why would you want to choose to fall?
No matter how much you run or hide it
God will convict you through his Holy Spirit.

There are some people who think they can get away with things they do in secret and cover up their wrongdoing. They can maybe deceive someone for a while but there is a God who knows and sees everything. I was made to hide many wrong things that I witnessed as a child so that the name of the family will be preserved. It was almost like a norm to cover up the family’s secrets and sins and it was taboo to even talk about it. People were afraid to be looked down or criticized by their neighbors or friends. They put up an act that they are good and perfect people. The bible says that when you are proud and arrogant, the Lord sees it. You will reap what you sow.

-1 Samuel 2:3(NLT)
NOWHERE TO HIDE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you really think that God can’t see what you do?
There is no reason to hide or find a place to run to
Stop acting so proud and haughty
Give up arrogance and being snooty
The Lord is a God who knows everything
There is nowhere to hide from a supreme being
He knows what you’ve done and what you’re feeling
He is all seeing, all knowing and all loving
Run back to his arms instead of rebelling.
Have you ever tried to hide a secret that you have done in the past that you were not proud of? Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to keep on hiding and running especially from the people who love and trust you? It is stressful to keep pretending to clean up a mess you have done. Sooner or later, someone is going to discover whatever you have been hiding. There is no secret that God doesn’t know.
The bible warns us from acting proud and being haughty. He doesn’t want us to speak arrogantly. God sees and knows what we are about to do or what we have done. He will judge our actions.
PRAYER
Lord, convict me of pride.
REFLECTION
What must a Christian do to avoid pride?
